I love to show off my photographs.  Every photographer does.  The urge has hounded me ever since Dad built me a tiny dark room in the cellar of our home in the Tennessee mountains and passed along to me the Kodak bellows camera he had bought to record his and Mother’s honeymoon.  (He gifted her with it but then never let her use it knowing that she, a woman, knew nothing about photography.  Somehow I managed to have a dark room of sorts not through college but, surprisingly, through peacetime Army duty, newspaper reporting and then lawyering in NYC.  Digital, of course, was a Godsend, concentrating more energy on content and less on process.  The introduction of Adobe’s Lightroom was the final (so far, at least) icing.

There is an underlying theme here.  Five years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and lugging bodies, lenses, tripods and the like on strenuous photo shoots began to be more problematic.    I’ve made a number of changes in the way I work to accommodate PD; I hope recounting some of these decisions will be helpful to anyone similarly situated.

I’m not sure why I chose now to start this blog, or where it will take me.  I already have a portfolio site on Phanfare, although that tends to be a repository of long shoots rather than a sample of my best (?) work.

AS my mentor in law used to say, at this point I am as interested as anyone else in what will appear here over time.
