After college I set up a darkroom and was doing B&W and Color processing. My mentor John, a fashion photographer in New York taught me many things and helped me develop an eye for photographs. When my son was born that was the end of the darkroom. I focused on color slide work. About 7 years ago I started doing digital work and have been doing it ever since. In 2003 I started showing my work and have won numerous awards. In the last year I have been working in Lightroom and am amazed how similar it is to working in the darkroom (minus the chemicals).
