About Me
- pitchertaker
- Central Massachusetts, United States
- 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.

Hi Again,
Can you say a bit about the picture labeled simply "Victor, Colorado"? My husband and I met in Victor in 1985 at a photography workshop run by Al Webber.
We had a blast finding things to photograph in that town.
We will celebrate twenty years of marital bliss on 2/20 - next Wednesday. ;->

While I never knew Al Webber, I certainly knew about his workshops. Myself, I assisted for Oliver Gagliani in Virginia City, NV. Oliver was a contemporary of Al, and conducted workshops for many years out of the old St. Mary's Hospital in VC. The image -- "Visitation" in a stain on one of the old concrete walls on the edge of town -- near the road that goes up the mountain. When I saw it, I was reminded of the Atomic Bomb "shadows" of people vaporized on to surfaces. I know, that's sort of morbid.....but, on the other hand, it was as if one of the people who worked the mines in the early days of Victor had suddenly appeared to me. I should mention here that I'm not generally considered crazy by most people.

Congrats on your 20th anniversity. I hope you are still photographing.
