I started playing with cameras and computers in the same summer back in the 1970's. Yeah, they really had computers back then. Or, what passed for them. Cameras had to be fed what we used to call "film" -inconvenient stuff that made you quit taking images and change rolls.I do freelance photography and graphics work. I'm learning about video production and editing. I play tennis. Traded in my TV habit for the internet - I spend about 20 hours a week surfing.What else? Well, fiscal conservative, social moderate, immigration isolationist, pro-choice, heavy drinking (Dr. Pepper), artistic computer nerd. That about sums me up. I have a wonderful wife and three-too-many teenagers at home.
