I REALLY GOT INTERESTED IN PHOTOGRAPHY WHEN I RECEIVED A KODAK BROWNIE HOLIDAY FILM (127) CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS AT THE AGE OF 12. I GUESS THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS BORROWING MY MOTHER'S KODAK CAMERA. I USED MY CAMERA FOR QUITE AWHILE UNTIL IT FINALLY BROKE AND THE COST TO REPAIR IT ,WHICH WAS IFFY, PROBABLY BEYOND THE PRICE OF A NEW CAMERA. I THEN PURCHASED A USED NIKKORMAT FTN 35MM FILM CAMERA AND THEN A USED CANON A-1 35MM FILM CAMERA AND USED THEM UNTIL I WENT DIGITAL. I PURCHASED A NEW CANON EOS D30 WITH A FEW PRIME LENSES IN LATE 2000. SOME OF THE PHOTOS ON THIS WEBSITE WERE TAKEN WITH THAT CAMERA.

I RECEIVED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN PHOTOGRAPHY WHEN I WAS EMPLOYED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO OBTAIN MY C.E.T. (CRIMINAL EVIDENCE TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION.)

 I BUILT AND MAINTAIN THIS WEBSITE (BOX 160 PHOTO COLLECCTION.NET) AS A HOBBY. I ENJOY IN MY PASTIME CAPTURING THE RIGHT MOMENT WHEN SUBJECT, LIGHT, AND COLOR COME TOGETHER HOPEFULLY FOR A GREAT PHOTO. THIS WEBSITE ALLOWS ME TO SHARE MY PHOTOS WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR ANYONE ELSE THAT IS INTERESTED IN VIEWING THEM ONLINE. THE PHOTOS ON THIS WEBSITE ARE FROM MY MANY TRAVELS. ALL PHOTOS ON THIS SITE ARE LOW RESOLUTION IN JPEG FORMAT. FOR PRINTING I USE THE HIGH RESOLUTION TIFF FORMAT. SOME PHOTOS ARE ALTERED TO RENDER AN ARTISTIC PICTURE OF THE ORIGINAL PHOTO, SOME ARE RENDERED IN BLACK AND WHITE, SOME ARE COMPOSITIONS, BUT MOST ARE THE IN THE AMBIENT LIGHT AND COLOR AT THE TIME. CURRENTLY I AM USING A NIKON Z5 WITH A SMALL COLLECTION OF PRIME LENSES.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WEBSITE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES UP AND BE SAFE
