I
became interested in Photography as a teen in the 1960's.
I was an editor for my high school yearbook. Although I wasn't
taking photographs, I was intrigued by the power of the images.
The other major influence was music. My high school offered
a class trip to see Simon and Garfunkel in concert. I found
the energy that performers generated was incredible. I borrowed
a single lense reflex camera with a zoom lense from a friend
for a Cat Stevens Concert. I got one shot that was good enough
to enlarge into an 8 x 10. It was a beginning of Concert and
Performer Photography that continues today.
I
started pursuing a photographic career in the 1990's. I was
living in South Florida and discovered Fotofusion at the Palm
Beach Photographic Centre in Delray Beach. At the first Fotofusion
I met Susan Knowles, a professional photographer looking for
an assistant. I started assisting her and eventually started
to shoot with her. Today I do my own photography and also
work with a number of fine photographic studios in South Florida.
I owe my transition from amateur photographer to professional
photographer ultimately to Fatima and Art Nejame of the Palm
Beach Photographic Centre for creating a special Photographic
Organization dedicated to the Art of Photography.
