At seven, I received my first camera, a “Brownie”.  It was about this time that I began watching my father work his magic, in his photography dark room, pulling images out of the developer tray. In high school, I acquired a 2¼ x 3¼ Speed Graphic and began photographing events for the school newspaper. During college, I worked on the newspaper staff, and later became the senior photographer for the college yearbook.  That gave me a passport into a new world of commercial photography, shooting weddings, proms, fires, funerals and more. One highlight of those days was making the front page of the Sunday Edition of the Daily Oklahoman with a shot of firemen in action at a big blaze. After college, I hung up my camera using it only for family events.  Six years ago, I became active in photography again.  Starting over with some new equipment, I looked for and found a club whose members had the same interest as I in improving my photography skills.
