Alex Lane- Biography
Started an interest in Photography in the late 50’s with a Kodak Retina folding camera.  Joined my first camera club ( Motor City) in Jan. 1960 and purchased my first SLR ( Pentax H3v) and went on from there. I did my own B & W as well as color printing and entered slides as well. I served in every office and am still an active member ( even though I live in Florida) . I enter Digital every month by e-mail. I joined the PSA in the early 60’s but dropped out after a couple of years ( had no idea of who to contact on getting into anything). I rejoined again in the early 80’s and served a International Slide Study Group Secretary for a couple of years and then became the Director of ISSG for about 18 years. I served as 2nd V.P and then 1st V.P. of the Photojournalism Division. As I have not been able to find any camera clubs in my area that have any competition so, I belong to a few PSA groups in order to be able to show or compete with my images.
 I moved to Florida in 2001 and now print with a digital printer ( no basement or darkroom in Fl.). My wife and I travel a lot ( 5th trip to Alaska in 2007) and I use Canon equipment with Epson printers.
