I started in photography while in High School (1948). My first 35mm camera was an Argus C3. I retired in 2002 and moved from Long Island, New York to Boynton Beach Florida. While on Long Island I was a member of the Long Island Color Print Club, and was President for two years. This was a unique photography club, we did prints and slides. You had to develop negatives or positives and print the negatives and mount the slides. We had judges who evaluated our pictures or slides for what they were. Being a unique club, we were written up in Popular Photography. Over the years, I also used a 2 ¼ X 2 ¼ camera as well as a 2 ¼ X 3 ¼ camera, doing both slides and photos. I used a B-23 enlarger with a color head in the old days, but now do digital only with my computer and Photoshop CS5

My career was spent as an Electronic Engineer in sales as Vice President for a few Consumer Electronic Manufactures. Then in 1986 my wife and I purchased a travel Agency on Long Island. We were both very active in the industry and it gave us a chance to visit the world. We both still like to travel and do photography.
