My life in photography started at the age of ten in the boiler room of a small parochial grade school. My science teacher offered to select students, most of whom were introverted, shy, the opportunity to gather on Saturday mornings to learn the chemistry of black and white photography. His hope was to open up the creative abilities of a group of quiet kids and see how they would respond. I remember the first time holding up a roll of developed film, that first print and I was hooked. Since then it has been my best friend in tough times, and continues today to help provide me financial support doing what has become a passion.
