My first "real" camera was an old Zeiss 35mm rangefinder purchased on a family trip to West Berlin in 1970. Later, my father (a chemist) built a darkroom in the basement, and my brothers and I learned to process film and expose prints under his supervision. I took photos for the high school newspaper and local Martinsville Bulletin, and honed my darkroom skills. I purchased one of the first Olympus OM-1 cameras (circa 1974), which was small and perfect for backpacking trips, and have used Olympus SLR's, DSLR's and mirrorless cameras ever since (from OM-1 to the latest EM-1).
The images reflect my evolving interests. The lacrosse photographs of the Westwood High School team were taken when my son Brendan played and I was president of the support club. Rock-n-roll started when I was recruited by the local public radio station (KUT & KUTX) to cover the festivals. I now help out KOOP Radio whenever I can. Recently I've been photographing minerals for books focusing on the geology of of the state.
