About (request update)

What started my love of photography, was my mother who owns a Kodak Brownie camera, which uses Kodak color 2-¼ mm film, which I was curious on how this brownie box camera works. My grand father always had a flashlight in his house and for some reason I was fascinated with light.

Always wanted to capture the moments, started off with my first camera a 110mm film Vivitar 600 which was nothing but a point and shoot camera, then moved up LOL to a 126mm film Kodak camera.

My first real 35mm film camera was a manual Yashica Electro 35 Rangefinder, which had an aperture, rings with f/stop numbers, which correlate pictures with the range of f/stop numbers dial.

Yashica had an f/1.7 40mm lens and ASA range from 12 to 400. Unfortunately the camera was stolen and I was so mad, my parent brought me another camera. The Chinon AM-3 with screw mount lens 135mm f/2.8 and a 55mm f/1.7.

I’ve upgraded to a SLR Minolta X700 35mm camera. I had two of them with motor drives on both. With this camera my experiences started as a hobby first, to becoming a very serious photographer.

The biggest upgrade was when I purchase my first of three DSLR DX Nikon’s, Nikon D70, D300 and D7000, growing and moving to a FX full frame camera soon.

I’ve photograph countless photos from Washington DC City councilwomen Charlene Drew Jarvis. Roberta Flack, Dave Chappelle and that celebrity list goes on and on.
The 2012 - 2013 Miss Black District of Columbia, Tecoya Gordon.
