Gerardo D. Duran Jr.
As a teenager in New York City I started to learn photography, in 1955 using a Minolta 35 mm camera from B&H and my home dark room.
From 1971 to 1974 using a home dark room and Nikon cameras, I worked as public relations and outside plant development photographer for the Puerto Rico Telephone Co.
From 1975 to 1984, I was a self employed free-lance photographer with a studio in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 1984, I was a casualty of the 1980s recession and moved to Tampa Florida with my wife and children 18 and 13 years old. I found employment with the Museum of science and Industry where I did public relations and exhibit display photography among other duties for the next 14 years until my retirement on the year 2000.
I restarted my interest in photography in 2015. When I can take a break: from home caring my wife Roselyn with alzheimers disease, I practice my photography.
