My formal photographic training began at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches TX. in the early 70's where I studied under Michael N. Roach. My interest photography began much earlier though when John Sr. gave me a Kodak Duaflex around 1956 in Midland TX.
After graduating to a Canon fTB 35mm SLR and dropping out of college the photographic pursuits became secondary to earning a living. Even without the time to devote to the hobby, photography remained a major interest. After just living for about 14 years my wife persuaded me to return to college to complete my degree - this time a dual degree combining computers and communications. After working within the computer fields for 9 additional years I have finally returned full circle to the pursuit of the Photographic Image.
I am using a Pentax k-10D digital for the instant gratification, Pentax LX and MX for the 35mm, and Mamiya M645-s1000 and RB67-ProS for the larger formats.
