Hello ! My name is Ken and I started photography WAY back in high school, 1981 to be exact. My first camera was a Pentax K1000 that I picked up at Kmart for my birthday. Solid little camera. During my high school photography class I remember watching these photos come to life in the dark room, thinking what a magical thing this is. I can still smell the developing baths to this day !
Since then the cameras have changed, the editing has changed, and technology has improved. What has remained the same however, is the light. Capturing moments of light and shadow, on film or on sensor, is still at the core of photography.
After 43 years I still enjoy finding light in nature, wildlife, and the world around me. From one of my first photos above to one of my most recent below, I hope you enjoy these photos.
