Captured Perfectly

I graduated college from JMU in Harrisonburg in 1979

I came to Charlotte because of a job at the Charlotte Observer where I joined the staff. I shot mostly film over my long career that included a job at The Page News and Courier in Luray, Va. then I moved on to a staff potion at a bi-daily, The Frederick, (md) News-Post and then over the mountain To Hagerstown, MND where I was on staff at the Hagerstown Herald-Mail, another bi-daily in Maryland and then to the Observer. I shot manual on my camera, manual on the strobes and had a darkroom I worked out of. I also used manual focusing on my lenses The new Canon mirrorless has eliminated all of that. No more darkroom. No more film, but rather cards and things. No more manual strobes and no more manual focusing. I do shoot mirrorless and take advantage of all the advances made in the photography world. I love the many advances. I can remember when 3 seconds was a fast  for a motor drive  now we can shoot 30 frames a second and not hit a buffer.
