About this Blog

There are always two people in every picture:  the photographer and the viewer. 
 ~Ansel Adams

I was involved with photography in undergraduate school and continued well after that while studying for my MFA and beyond as a fine artist. Those were the film days and I loved it. I was teaching photography and exhibiting my work during that time in addition to working as a gopher in a studio and also in a camera store. Teaching full time took me more or less away as well as other part time professions, although I still kept shooting.

The new digital age in cameras was so different. The image quality was nothing in comparison to film and it took so long for the camera to recycle itself so you could take another shot. Eventually they came out with the DSLR, but those were so costly in the beginning. Once the price came down I bought one. I must admit although the principals of photography and the older film SLR cameras were the same with the new DSLR, for me it was overwhelming to transition to. It seemed to me that I had more controls, buttons and options. I stayed with it as best I could, taking lessons and classes. The digital darkroom also opened up another world especially Photoshop, hence more classes.

My intention in creating More than a Click is to share with you some of my journey using this medium. I hope to have a new blog at least once a month. Please feel free to comment and thank you for stopping by.
