That Split-Second Moment

Getting my own Agus Argoflex 75 camera and Kodak film at age 12 got me started and eventually hooked on photography.  Back then you put your subject in the sun light and yourself in the shade and called that exposure control.  You mailed your film to a lab and had to be happy with what they returned.  The digital transformation of photography was a godsend to me, because it allowed me to control every aspect from taking the picture to printing it.

As you fast forward through life you realize key influencers…being raised on a midwestern farm gave me my love for the outdoors, some college courses (botany, geology, art appreciation) opened my eyes about how the world was made and how  artists viewed it, associations in art leagues helped me to observe and compete with other artists works, certifications by the Missouri Dept. of Conservation and University of Missouri to become a Missouri Master Naturalist… all helped sharpen my eye and allowed me to share my work with the public.

Taking a picture only requires a split-second, but capturing the mood and the light is a journey that may take hours, days, even years.  I live for that split-second moment that yields what photographers call a “keeper”, and that opportunity to share my vision with you.
