[ My Time And Our

My Least Favorite Photographer To Have Would Be Myself. Someone Who Wanted A Career At National Geographic. Because It's Almost Mathematically Impossible To Achieve That.

It's More Difficult Now, To Be A Geographic Photographer, Than It Was When I Came Along. And It Wasn't Easy At That Time.

My Dad Took A Workshop From A Photographer Who Worked At The Toledo Blade, A Newspaper I Delivered. I Knew This Photographer's Work. My Dad Took A Night Class From Him At The University Of Toledo. Without That Class, I Wouldn't Have Become A Photographer, Because My Dad Came Home And Taught Me What He Learned In Class.

For Example, In My Dorm, At The University Of Kentucky, I Had The Only Camera. I Don't Think Anyone Came To College With A Camera, Other Than Me.

I Was A Consultant For Kodak Back In The Late 80's. There Were Engineers There Who Told Me That In The Future, Most Photographs Would Be Taken On Telephones. They Weren't Able To Do Anything With That. They Were Engineers, Not Management.
