I was still in elementary school when I got my first camera. I had been captivated by the magnificent landscapes I'd seen in National Geographic and Life magazine and figured I'd like to try my hand at that. I can remember my excitement when I took my first roll of film to the drug store to get developed, and I can remember my disappointment when I got my first set of prints back. They were horrible. But at least I knew they were horrible and I knew WHY they were horrible. So I set out to improve my eye and I got pretty good at it. I even toyed with the idea of becoming a professional photographer but instead took the practical route and became a programmer.

Well, I'm retired now, so I don't have to be practical anymore, and I can do what I want, and what I want to do is get back into photography. I'm not all that interested in landscapes anymore - been there, done that. Now I'm more interested in people. Still, I guess it's fitting that my firstphoto shoot with a real model was a bodyscape shoot - the perfect combination of landscapes and the human form.
