Although I trained as a lawyer and practiced law for 35 years, I came from an “artsy craftsy” family. (Both my father and sister were artists and art teachers.) I started my photographic journey as a kid. My first camera was a Brownie – I even had a dark room (without running water) in my bedroom closet. The subjects were typical: family, camp, Christmas, etc. I don’t remember what became of the camera, but when my sister and I took our first trip to Europe, our father lent us his Canon range finder, and I started my travel photo collection. I then bought my own point and shoot, followed by a light weight Pentax. My cameras had become a little more sophisticated, but my eye did not. When, the digital revolution arrived with new cameras, and no longer having to worry about the cost of film, my photography became more imaginative.
