Your Instructor
Born in 1953 in Burlington, NC, I cannot remember a time when I did not have a camera in my hand. My first camera was a 1955 Kodak Retina Reflex SLR, one of the first SLRs at that time, and three lenses.
My first gallery showing was at the age of 15 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. That same year I produced a documentary photo series on black poverty for Congresswoman Francis Dawson, in Burlington, NC.
In 1981 I moved to California and stayed 37 years. I now live near Austin, Texas.
I am proud to be a contracted Adobe Beta Tester, providing Adobe with pre-release testing of Photoshop as new features are developed and prepared for general release.
I am also a contracted beta tester for DxO Photolab as DxO tests new features and upgrades prior to general release.
