California Swede's photostream
|
I was once a soldier and a photography studio owner and photography instructor at a private school in California. I am more comfortable working in the studio shooting portraits. I haven't done any serious studio work for years and now shoot snapshots of family gatherings and the grand-kids.
I have worked in law enforcement, threat management and private investigations too. Lots of criminal investigations. Photography is much more civilized.
I have become a flickr junkie. I'm originally from Stockholm, Sweden but grew up in California, but I have been back and worked there in the sixties.
Equipment includes Nikon F, F3, FA, D100, D5100, Mamiya C33, RB67 (2) and several 4X5 cameras.
