I have been photographing for over 30 years, starting in a serious way when I joined my local camera club in 1984. In those days I worked casually for a theatrical agency making portraits of extras working in films. I have also taught basic photography at high school for 15 years. I retired from teaching in 2002 and continue to teach locally.
