I had thought photographer was a powerful tool to bring about changed. But I began to realize that most people just didn't care. I also became more aware of the realities of actually getting a job in the field, that being that newspaper photographers were over worked, underpaid and seldom allowed to created compelling images. Newspaper photojournalism ment head shots and hand shakes at press conferences, with an occasional spot news shot. While there was a great deal of money in advertising photography, it was not something that I wanted to be a part of.
Photojournalism is about revealing truths, advertising photogrpahy is about creating deceptions.
I have always been pretty good with computers. I setup Bradley's first student run server for email, web services and amateur radio applications. Since then, I designed Bradley's main web page. And worked with InterLabs, the interdisplanary computer group and at the Global Communications Center doing systems administration, networking, andweb page design. I still love black and white photogrpahy, but I must get a job in another field to fulfill other goals.
