| I am a
semi-retired Pediatrician who has been
interested in photography for over 50 years. I
work in a hospital clinic 2 mornings a week and
devote much of my free time to photography. I
have been officer and president of the
Schenectady Photographic Society which was
founded over 75 years ago. I have been a
District Representative of the Photographic
Society of America for many years. I have
written innumerable articles for the PSA Journal
and have entered many salons. I have an
Editorial Gold Star and I am a 4 star exhibitor
in Nature Salons. At the present time I am
Chairman of the Digital Group in our local
Camera Club. Many of my nature images have been
published in textbooks and foreign photo
magazines.
Over the past 6
years I have gone from conventional darkroom
work to the digital darkroom. I have a PC with a
Pentium II processor with 256 meg of RAM. I am
running Windows 98, Picture Publisher 8 and
Photoshop 6.0. I have used Canon equipment for
over 30 years and recently purchased a Canon EOS
D30 digital camera. I use a Umax Astro 1220U
flatbed scanner, a Canoscan FS 2710 film scanner
and an Epson 1280 Stylus printer. I am eclectic
in my subject material but prefer nature
subjects. I try to get to many photo events in
the Albany, New York area but I am somewhat
limited by a chronic arthritis condition.
I have been quite
satisfied with my digital images acquired with
my digital camera. I do believe that the
photographer makes the image not the camera. It
takes a good photograph to make a good digital
image. |
