I became intensely interested in photography at age 14, and learned and advanced rapidly in pursuit of excellence. I planned to make a career of it, but realized that becoming a professional photographer meant giving up creative control to someone else (the client), and so decided to work in the photo lab industry instead.
I have done Kodachrome processing, as well as E-4, E-6, AR-1, C-22, C-41 at a large photofinishing lab; worked as a printer for a wedding/portrait photographer; did custom color printing at a commercial/industrial photography studio; owned a custom lab for eight years until digital photography supplanted film, and my volume dropped until I couldn't sustain the business.
I now am lab manager at in in house lab for a camera store, and our work is all printed on digital printers, although we still process film (E-6 and C-41) and can print from many film formats using the built in scanners on the machines.
All along, I have spent some of my limited free time shooting photos, and some of the results of these efforts are posted here.
New photos are not posted here very often since I have very limited opportunities to go out shooting because of work and family obligations, so many of the photos posted are quite old, and sometimes new postings are scans of old photos.
