When I was growing up in the 70's my dad taught photography to my brothers and I, and turned our bathroom into a darkroom. As much as I loved it, I chose instead to be a grapher designer, spending 20 years of my life working mostly for government contractors and sitting behind a desk. Eventually I left that field and took a position photographing visitors at a well-known theme park. Once I rediscovered my love for photography, it became an obsession that I couldn't let go of. It felt like I had to learn everything from scratch, and I'm still learning.
