Photography

My interest in photography started with a year I spent in Spain (1970-71.) I took quite a few pictures with a very basic Kodak box camera, and every once in a while ended up with a result that both surprised and pleased me. Eventually I realized I had an innate sense of composition. On my return to the States, I swapped my Kodak for an old, second-hand Exacta with a Carl Zeiss lens that my dad was no longer using, and I was off and running.

These days I tend to photograph with a web audience in mind. This began with researching potential locations for scenes in some of my stories. Most often I'd find lots of text but--frustratingly--no photos. So I started to take the kind of photos around my local area that I'd like to find if I were doing a search, and began posting my photo tours to the web. E-mail feedback soon told me that viewers appreciated the opportunity to go on these kinds of virtual explorations. I hope something you find here will inspire you, bring you peace or simply make you smile.
