To make them more salable, we added photography to our skills. Photography was relegated to family photos but the skills I developed served me well as I went on to a career in advertising for a Fortune 100 company. I was fortunate to work with many top photographers, designers and illustrators. My interest in photography rekindled when I became an online manager and community producer. The web was new and graphics were just beginning to become important when I began shooting with a digital camera.
Life is a series of milestones generally best recognized through hindsight.
With me, one milestone is a single photograph. I realized I had gone beyond capturing an image to capturing the emotion behind the image. That image led to a quest to learn more about photography and then to enrolling in the New York Institute of Photography. I was hooked. From digital photography I've expanded into 35mm photography and into doing my own darkroom work.
