1983 with a Canon A-1 / Kodachrome 25 slide film
In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.

St. Johns River Adventure
Just northeast of Orlando, the St. Johns river majestically winds its way north through small river towns and fish camps. The river basin is full of natural beauty and all kinds of wildlife including birds, turtles, alligators and different species of fish. Not to mention the colorful characters that call the river their home. We navigated up the river and eventually pulled up to the dock of the river town of Debary and the Swamp House Grill at the High Banks Marina. Inside there was good food, cold drink, music and Captain Natural Lee. Captain Lee is well known as an artist, writer and adventurer. The Swamp House is literally full of his talented work. Paintings, wood carvings and sculptures are on display with the common thread of local wildlife and a historic old Florida ambiance. Captain Natural Lee resides right in front of the Swamp House on the river. If you are ever in Debary, stop on in and see him.

Chalk Artist
For a number of years now I have attended the Festival of Masters Art show at Downtown Disney. It features over 150 award wining artists. I anticipate going each year, but especially look forward to seeing the sidewalk chalk artist. As I strolled around with camera in tow, I noticed a young artist, with albinism, sketching in brilliant color. I thought; what contrast! so snapped a few frames thinking how I could process the digital shots to show the extreme level of contrast I visualized in my mind while taking the pictures.

Thank Heaven For Little Girls
That song was made famous in 1958 by French Actor and Singer; Maurice Chevalier. I try to take a few candid photographs every few weeks or so to add to my portfolio. It seems that the little girls always win out over everyone else because of their innocent expressions and beautiful smiles. The results always makes me think of the words of that song.
