Greetings from Big Wonderful Wyoming,
> 1. How long have you been working in photography? Favorite process?
Since fifth grade... thirty some odd years. Gum Dichromate, conventional
silver prints, 4x5 format.
> 2. Influential teachers? Learned on your own?
My fifth grade teacher - the assignment was "photo-essay". This really
introduced me to the concept of photography as a means of communication and
self-expression. Mostly self-taught, also have an AAS in Commercial
Photography, Colorado Mountain College 1984.
> 3. Favorite photographers other than yourself?
Minor White.

Underwater photography..... I'm now living in Wyoming.... fat chance, HA HA!
> 5. Most embarrassing time with a camera in your hand. And don't say you've

The film leader never caught on the sprocket. 40 'exposures' of phantom
photos and I finally figured out my goof. DOH!!!!
> 6. Worst disaster in the darkroom. You can't say you never had one here
either!
First time I 'developed' B&W film... "Oops!, you mean the door has to be
closed?"
> 7. Your first time shooting a nude, if ever?
Snapshot of girlfriend skinnydipping - nice titty shot.
> 8. What photographer, living or dead, you'd like to live a week in the
life
> of? (David Hamilton does not count!)
Edward Weston
> 9. Your dream camera? If you were Bill Gates, what would you buy?
Already have it - a Wisner 4x5 Technical Field and my Grandpa's Nikon F1.
> 10. If you could have any person in the world as a model for a day, who?
> Portrait, nude, whatever?
My wife.
