Minardi Photography

I have been a professional photographer for over 50 years and have been blessed with an illustrious career doing my passion. After joining the Marine Corps out of high school, I graduated from college and went to Law School. Then I opened a photo-studio and camera store in Tampa, Florida and became a world renowned photographer with a lot of hard work and much help. At that time there were not many great photographers in Florida and I did work for most magazines on the news stand, leading Advertising Agencies and top corporations in New York. I am an award-winning sports photographer and was an NFL photographer for 25 years after being the Team Photographer for the NASL team named the Tampa Bay Rowdies. I am an award winning photojournalist and was a candidate in the Journalist in Space Program of NASA. The Eastman Kodak Company chose me to be a Mentor in their Professional Imaging Division and I toured the country giving speeches and seminars to Professional Photographers. I am also an award-winning Combat Photographer for the U.S.Marines in 1989 and military photographer of Europe in 2004 for the U.S.Army during the War on Terrorism. I have 2 web sites: www.Minardi-Photo.com and www.Minardi-Gallery.com. I now live in Columbia, MD and have been digitizing my archives for posterity and the copyright office. I am a pioneer in digital and have been doing digital photography 30 years before digital cameras. I love to mentor new promising photographers. After I was mentored.
