Archie Goodwin's photostream  

It always was and always will be about the light.

My photographic heroes? Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gordon Parks, Dorothea Lange, Margaret Bourke-White, Eugene Smith, Walker Evans, and David Douglas Duncan. Unlike them I stay close to home and take very safe, very quiet photos.

Home now is on Georgian Bay in central Ontario in Canada, although I lived for many, many years in Toronto. I have been trying to make photographs since the late 1960s. Once in a while I get lucky and trap some magic in light form. I was recently looking through some old photo albums and noted that I at some point in my teenage years became the family photographer taking over from my Mom. As a result I pretty much disappear from the family photo record. It is a little unsettling to disappear like that. This is probably why I have resorted to so many self portraits recently.

My buddy profile image is my second golden retriever, Shakespeare who passed away in 2009.

I have some sets arranged here with photos of my camera collection. Started recently using a Nikon D3100.
