My Bio
I am an onery old man, who cares way to much, and is very old fashioned.
I was raised in a different world than what we live in today, a world where friendship actually meant something, a world where a handshake was all that was needed to seal a deal. When I make a promise, I will keep that promise no matter what, or die trying. If I tell you I will do something, I will do it. If I call you a friend, then I will be a true friend. I will always care.

It took me a few days to convince her to let me post it here in my journal since she is a visual artist not a writer and only consented as long as I didn't use her name. I wanted to post it because I think it pertains to so many artists o

I am asked quite often if photography can be art. My response is always the same, yes it can be. The tools used to create the artwork are different than what is considered more traditional art but the end result is the same. An image that is not only beautiful, but one that can also inspire. The word photography is derived from the greek words "phos" meaning light and "graphis" meaning stytlus or paintbrush. Together meaning light painting. Thus my quote, "The Art of Painting With Light" for that is what photography is. Instead of using pigment or paints, I use light to create my artwork. I hope that as others see the world through my eyes b

ethics

I have had several people recently ask me about ethics and the lack thereof in todays world. When ever I teach a class on photography I always have a section on ethics, it is always the one subject that has the most intense discussion and is almost always the one subject that the students tell me that they enjoyed the most. I am a very old fashioned person and I believe that ethics are the most important thing in life. I love photography dearly and it always hurts when I hear about how someone who professes to be a photographer, acts in an unethical manner. Here are a few examples of what I am talking about. Recently a local photographer has
