Lived in Michigan, Texas, Colorado and now Oklahoma in the USA.

Started in with photography at about the age of 8 or 9 with printing out
paper and have had a dark room of one kind or another until about 3 years
ago. At the end did mostly printing from chromes, had my office full of
them.  No more room now that I am retired and mostly project slides with
a Leica 2002P projector with  both a 90 colorplan CF and 90 Super
colorplan FF lens.  Have about 12,000 chromes, most of which are family
history, travel etc.  Had several thousand more but gave them to the kids
- - I think they are in boxes on the shelves, although I gave each of them
a projector and screen.  Can't get them away from the computers.

Have owned a lot of Nikon, Hasselblad and Leica equipment, and one or two
Contax cameras.  Presently have both an R8 and M6 and several lenses,
nothing exotic, nothing over f/2.0
