I started learning about photography when I was 6 years old. I could not understand why when you shined a light through a negative onto paper you did not get a photograph. My Dad showed me how to make contact sheets, and from that point I was hooked. I started working for a photographic studio when I was 16. During college I taught photography, and was the manager of the campus photo lab.  During my military career I kept up my skills not only as a hobby but also professionally.  I have won numerous photo awards during that time.  This book, the first in a series, shows you how I see the world through the lens of my camera.
