A mere 24 hours and 32 minutes later it has all changed proving timing is everything. Yesterday a pretty picture (didn't say great picture), and today a rather common record shot.
Our lives are in constant motion whether it be aimless or dedicated. No reason the world needs to stand still. Most of the time it is enough for me that I can (if I'm smart enough to bring a camera) take a slice of time and lay it out on a table for examination.
I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA.
I shoot these cameras and formats:
----Note: --
I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.

It's depressing sometime to think about how fast things change and how little time I might have to make a photograph.
I hate thinking I have to pay attention or be present with the camera in my hand. Do it anyway but wish it wasn't so hard sometimes.
