Val Schorre - Biography My interest in photography began when I wsa around ten years old. From my chemistry sets I became interested in developing pictures and toning them. In college I got an SLR. Professionally I was a computer programmer, and was anxious to use the computer for photography. I connected a black and white video camera to an S100 bus computer was was able to get images that were 128x128 pixels. The pictures were printed on a typewriter, using different letters of the alphabet to represent shades of gray -- the asterick was dark gray and the period was light gray. I described this in one of the PSA Techniques circuits at the time. When the Mac II came out with 256 colors I thought that was amazing and had to have one. In a few years Apple cmae out with a 24bit color standard and I was able to make fair prints on an HP inkjet. I couldn't use a resolution greater than 640x480 because the computer was too slow. In 1999 I got my first digital camera, nad soon stopped taking pictures on film. Now I have a Mac Pro and print my pictures on an Epson 7600. I was in a PSA digital circuit but stopped for a few months while I was extra busy. Now I am glad to be in this circuit. |
