I have been a photographer since I was 17 and worked on several newspapers in Oregon and Washington States in the United States. I also worked as newspaper photographer in New Zealand. I love my Black and White photography and studied under an ex Life Magazine Photograhper, Bernard Hoffman in New Jersey where I learned how to print and develop B&W and studio lighting techniques. But now I love my Nikon D80 digital camera, which most of my current photos have been taken with.
