It's amazing for me to think that it has been thirty years
since I began my serious involvement in photography. I define
1973 as an important year in my photography, as it was the
first time I saw original prints by Ansel Adams, Edward Weston,
and Wynn Bullock, and more importantly the year that I first
studied with Ansel at his Yosemite workshop. Those two events
without a doubt changed my photography and, without exaggeration,
changed my life.
For those interested in attending a workshop, I hope you
will find one contained in the new brochure that will be of
interest to you.
