My interest in photography began around age 12, armed with a Kodak "Baby Brownie". I became more serious about it as time and $ permitted. Years later I was able to purchase the first of the many Leica cameras that were my companions as we worked through the transitions from film and darkroom to digital and software.
As I gained experience, I came to realize that it is the people who create the character and atmosphere of a place, not the statues, monuments, parks and scenery. I also came to understand that wherever one goes on the globe, we are more alike than we are different.
