Bear Holler Studio Editorial, Event & Portrait Photography, All of these experiences contributed to my photographic eye and increased my love of images.

As a painter and trained artist, I apply the principles of composition, perspective and color theory to the art of photography.

l work consists of photographic illustrations using hand painting and superimposed drawing on archival sepia tone prints. I learned photography independently, first as a photo assistant at the Florida State University Fine Arts photography lab, then as an architectural and documentary photography with the Florida Department of Historical Resources. I also used photographic skills and techniques as a museum exhibits designer and illustrator, a promotional photographer for historical sites and museums in the Southeast and a photojournalist at the Pensacola News Journal, a Gannet publication. My last formal training in photography was under John Scaffiti, the late professor of B&W photography at Appalachian State University, with whom I took two classes in large format photography and black and white development processes. John reawakened my ability to see the many patterns that surround us and can be translated into photographic images. Most of all, the many art history classes that I attended and my numerous eight-hour visits to the museums of Washington DC and New York City made me consider an image as I might view a fine painting at the Metropolitan, with an eye towards lighting, composition and color. I received my training in art at Florida State University, Ringling School of Art and Design, the Art Students League of New York City and Appalachian State University. I learned photography first out of love for the medium of B&W photography, and later, as a matter of necessity for my life’s work of conserving and documenting cultural events, musical performances, museums and historic sites throughout the Southeastern United States, the Four Corners region, Puerto Rico and Spain.

In my 60 some years on this earth, I have learned that when the Lord calls us home, we will go. No one can stop it.

We have one life to live. The material things we invest in are left behind. Memories therefore, are important to me.

So, I'm going to start a "reunion of friends". The idea is to see who reads a post without a picture. If no one reads my post, this will be a very short experiment. But if you are reading this message, make a comment using a single word about how we met.

After that COPY this message on your wall and I will also leave you a word. Please, don't leave a word and then not bother doing the second thing.

Let’s go! My friends are important to me.
