I have been passionately involved in photography since 1963. My first NikonF will probably go to the grave with me. I've used just about every format and type of still camera out there. Decades of work in University & Institutional Darkrooms and Professional Photo Labs have given me quite a broad look at this most versatile and delightful medium. I like chocolate, astronomy, hiking, biking, Macintosh computers, cold Guiness, good music, boomerangs, ukuleles and most critters. I don't like avocados, escargot, bad music, pan & scan movies and global warming.
