Someday soon someone will ask, Why did you become a photographer?

The Eye of the Photographer
Someday soon someone will ask, Why did you become a photographer?
I became a photographer because it involved me and the entire world around me.
I became a photographer because it provided me with food for my soul... and bread for my table.
I became a photographer because it enabled me to observe the human condition and to record the parade of human events.
I have seen the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I have seen the beginning of life and the end.
I have seen my neighbors across the street and across the world.
I have recorded the hand of man as he builds and as he destroys.
I have photographed smiles and tears.
I have photographed innocence and sophistication.
I have photographed body and soul.
I have photographed men at work and at play.
I have photographed the wonders of nature and of man.
I have photographed beautiful things and beautiful people.
I have seen and recorded the world through my own eyes.
I am a photographer.

Picture worth a thousand words !
Here's a shot of my daughter Erica when she was about 2 years old back in 1985.
I guess she really didn't know what to make of the monkey in front of her. The adage "A picture is worth a thousand words" is certainly appropriate here !
Strike a Pose
My daughter Cristina posing for the shot. Photo was taken at the famous Tiki Bar - Islamorada, Florida
The Old Water Pitcher
This shot was also captured back in the 80's as was the vizacaya photo below. The Barnacle located in Coconut Grove, Florida is a popular attraction for locals and tourist alike. This shot was also taken on Kodak Tri-X film and later manipulated after the scan.

Watercolor Photo Effect
During a photo shoot for a custom motorcycle builder (Orta Motorcycles) several years back I zoomed in on the models face and got this shot. At the time I had recently acquired a new photo editing program and while doing some test on the watercolorcolor effect, this is what I came up with. I was extremely pleased with the resulting image and have used it many times since.
Old Desoto - Door County, Wisconsin
During one of my visits to Door County, Wisconsin I found this old Desoto in a nearby farm on the side the road. I had seen this car many times but didn't have my camera with me on the first few visits. I finally captured the image in late fall of 2005. I converted the image to B&W so as to give the photo an old time feel.
