Introduction
I joined to get hands on learning and sharing about digital photography. I was a professional news photographer/writer from 1970-78. Then I became a full time writer.
Are there any famous photographers you admire?
The down and dirty style, high-contrast style of Sebastião Salgado. Gordon Parks was my distant cousin so maybe this runs in the family. Otherwise, any photographer who shoots well enough to afford a Hasselblad H3D-39II 39 megapix full-frame is my hero.
What would you call your style?
High impact. emotional, contemplative, metaphor. When I was a pro, I shot pure journalism/documentary. I'm planning to get back into documentary and social action, pay bills with travel and for my own walls, landscape, nature, and figure photography to feed my scenery addiction.
Is photography part of your profession?
Yes. I'm a journalist and I infrequently shoot my own photos. Everything I've gotten paid for in the last year has been journalism photography.

Additional Information
"It's down right now, but I expect to have it back up soon. It will feature documentary work by photographers and writers. No video. Can't afford it, and they get enough press as it is. I'm an equipment junkie needing rehab."
