Hello fellow photographers and welcome to my blog. I’m a 46 year-old physician who has been an avid photographer since I was 12.
My first experiences were with black and white photography, developing the film and prints in the bathroom in my parents’ home. During high school, I worked at one of the first “1-Hour” labs in Louisiana. Through college I was employed as a sports photographer for LSU, worked for a weekly Baton Rouge newspaper, was a custom printer at a photolab, and was head photographer for the LSU yearbook, “The Gumbo.” Currently, my photography is centered around my 9 and 10 year-olds’ events, with an occasional portrait or glamour session by appointment. I maintain a full studio in my home; the darkroom is sadly abandoned. I’ve moved my desktop computer, scanner, and printer to the site that my Zone VI and Leica enlargers occupied.
I enjoy all aspects of photography and have experience in every format from 35mm to 8×10 view cameras. The change to digital has been slow as the first cameras I tried were too slow and of too low resolution. Over the past 5 years I’ve made a gradual switch to shoot only digital photography and am currently using a Nikon D3 and D-300.
This blog will focus on gear, tips, rants, and a few rumors to satisfy your need to keep up-to-date on the latest in photography.
