My father was a photographer. My father’s father was a photographer. And before that my father’s father’s father was a photographer. Okay, not really, but my dad was a photographer and he taught me everything I know about composition, lighting and exposure (he bought and owned Masco Photographers before retiring, turning a second job as a wedding photographer to put me through college into a second career as an entrepreneur). I began shooting in high school with a 28mm f/2.8 mounted on an old Minolta x-570 loaded with Tri-X. I never moved far from the speed or beauty of that first fixed lens or shooting style, today armed with a 20mm f/1.7 on an Olympus E-PL1 that I carry with me wherever my travels take me.
