A short bio:
Born and raised in western PA. Introduced to photography at an early age (my dad had a studio for several years), and I started doing 120 contact prints around the age of 10. Eventually moved up to Omega enlarger in (much) later years when I put together a darkroom in an old farmhouse I was renting and living in after I got out of the Service and had moved to Virginia. All of that went by the wayside when we moved to a different house and I never had a suitable place after that. Still have the equipment squirreled away in boxes tho’, so who knows?
Most of the stuff I shoot these days is strictly for fun with digital cameras. Still have a bunch of film cameras I want to start using again, including my trusty Nikkormat. Have a Speed Graphic press camera that I want to bring back to life, so guess that will be my next project. It belonged to my dad and it has been sitting dormant for a very long period of time.
About to turn an another page in the chronological calendar in a couple of days, so we’re going to try and keep this party going for as long as we can.
