I live in Houston Texas and have always loved photography.
I am over 50 now and that makes me seem really old.

I got into photography when my daughter was born 28 years ago and loved it. However I did not love not haveing control of my final prints from my awesome Canon AE-1P and eventually built myself a color darkroom and took a course in photography and darkroom.

I got into Weddings over the next few years and protraits, doing portraits mostly for friends from my home studio I setup in my gargage. I did weddings for a few years and eventually moved on to medium format with a Pentax 645. WOw I loved that camera, but then when Minolta came out with thier new AF maxuum I just had to have one and sold the Pentax and got a new AF maxuum. I used it for years and loved it. It even had wireless Flash like my Awesome Nikon D80. I still have that camera but never use it.. I always developed and printed all of my own prints for weddings and portraits in my darkroom. My employer has some 16x20 prints on thier wall that I did over 25 years ago and they still look great today.

As my daughter grew up I always had a camera in my hands either a 35mm or a video camera. Then when the digital age hit us I was one of the first ones to get a Digital camera. O I remember my first one was a Sony mavica that did an awesome 640x480 pic. That was really exciting I did not have to buy film . All I had to worry about was carrying some floppy disc and extra battery with me because that is what this camera used for media. I used it for a few months until a newer one came out and then I upgraded.

Well to make this boring story a little shorter and less boring I eventually got a real camera when I got into a DSLR a couple years ago
Now that my daughter has given me a gorgoeus granddaughter I have a newly rekindled love for photography.
So now I am trying to return to what I had years ago and develop a small business in photography so I can retire from my job and do what I really love to do
