About

I am retired from thirty years in healthcare and now enjoy doing photography in Seattle.

After 36 years shooting with film, I sold my Leica cameras and switched to digital photography in 1999. For seven years I learned on my own from books and on-line tutorials. Then I attended an Epson Print Academy and discovered there was vastly more to learn.

There is no substitute for learning in person from masters.

I have taken five, week-long Digital Photography Workshops from Greg Gorman who taught me about lighting, communicating with models, digital workflow, wine and good living. There I also learned color management from Karl Lang and Andrew Rodney; printing from R. Mac Holbert, the originator of fine art digital printing; portrait retouching from Robb Carr, whose iconic celebrity images you know well (his transformations from the original images are jaw-dropping); image sharpening from Jeff Schewe, who created the sharpening in Lightroom; Lightroom from George Jardine, Adobe's first Lightroom evangelist; as well as masking and compositing from Katrin Eismann.
