Dreaming of
the Future
IMAGE CAPTION - Every year
since my daughter was two we have dyed Easter eggs. Well did
miss a few years when we lived in different areas, but it
has been a long time thing. This was two years ago and Abby
is showing her dad her egg. We judge the eggs and she wanted
to win bad.

A nice colorful image with good composition.
They are both seeming to do their "own" thing and I
don't see enough of a story here to sell the image.
Score 7. |

Very colorful image with good composition. It
would have been stronger if the girl was looking at
the egg instead of just holding it up. I know 'she
was showing it,," BUT we don't know that without an
explanation. Also, if the man had something in his
hand he was looking at instead of the glass it would
have had more interest. ALEX (7) |

Both are looking towards different directions
and are busy with different kind of works. To me it
appears a distracting factor. -6 |

- Biography - I am 77 years young,
born in Idaho and lived there a good part of my
life. I first joined PSA in the middle 50’s. I took
my first news picture when I was a 9th grader in
Ritzville Washington of a soap box derby. It was
with a 4x5 speed graphic. I was shown how to pull
the paddles, set the lens at f16, shutter at 1/50
and focus and shoot. I took many pictures day and
night with these instructions. While working on the
paper I did a side line doing school action and
students, portraits, insurance, weddings and even at
the local funeral home for those who wanted them. I
was sure glad when the poniard came along. I did all
my own darkroom work and it was all black and white.
L was using a Rollie for most of this. I used the
Rollei for most all of my work for a long time,
including slides for my own use. I sold a complete
outfit this past year for $650 on eBay to a customer
in Japan. I finally rejoined PSA some 36 years ago.
Have served as area representative, district
reprehensive, Sec of P-J group one for a number of
years, Director of slide study groups. Editor of
Cascade Chapter newsletter got my APSA some time
ago. I am not involved in any job in PSA, Was
vice-chairman and then chairman of the Columbia
Council of Camera Clubs. . Directed 5 conventions.
Ran the slide competition and put out the
newsletter. I am not doing any job now and it’s nice
to see the younger people coming forward in both
organizations. I have a house full of cameras but a
now using a little Canon G9. It’s so nice to just
have a little camera around your neck and not
carrying a heavy bag or two with you. I still got
several Nikons with half shot up film in them. Got
to get out and do some shooting with them some day.
The one salon overseas I send to is still just
accepting slides. I enjoy shooting just about
anything. I feel P-J has to tell a photographic
story. For a long time P-J salons were motorcycles
flying through the air…handicap people racing wheel
chairs. This is OK and some were great but it over
did in course to me. I will always give a good
action shoot my blessing regardless of what it is.. |
