I started my photography career with a Kodak Brownie box camera — can’t recall which one — and one of the first pictures I remember taking was of one of our cattle eyeing me over a fence next to my family’s farm house. I tried to get a little more creative when my Dad let me use the Agfa Silette Pronto 35mm camera he had brought back from his Army tour in Germany. It actually focused and had exposure adjustments and such exotica. Even though everything was guesswork — no meter, no focusing aid, I tried photographing things like a dandelion from below, silhouetted against the sky, or a setting sun balanced on a fencepost.
And so it began — a lifelong fascination with cameras and light and nature. Although I have managed to travel a bit in my life, I find most of my subjects right outside our back door or within a short distance of home. Mostly I don’t need to go looking for them. They present themselves without much effort on my part, except patience and observation and an attitude that nothing is insignificant and there is very little that is not beautiful.
