My
professional interest in photography
actually began as an afterthought
after returning home from an
extended trip to Europe. I had
purchased a Nikon F camera while
in Singapore on the way to Naples
and casually photographed the
interesting sites I encountered. When I got home I
put the Nikon in a drawer and forgot
about it. Sometime later, my
mother saw an article in the newspaper
about a photographic snapshot
contest and she suggested that I
enter a photo from my trip to
Europe. My mom was a good
judge of art, so I thought, "Why
not?" She picked out a slide of
a canal in Amsterdam and I entered
it. The photograph won
the weekly prize, and was sent back
to the national contest and won an
award there. I began to enter more
photos and won more awards. So then I decided to take
some photo classes along with
my Psychology major at the
University of Utah, and that began
my lifelong journey with photography. |
