My interest in photography started decades ago. My first 35mm SLR camera that I purchased was a Pentax Super Program which I used for my studies at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. The first year involved learning darkroom techniques, lighting, development of film and prints, lighting, use of lenses and composure. We studied art history to learn about lighting, shadows and how the same things can be used in photography. We then studied various famous photographers such as Ansel Adams, Alfred Steglitz, Annie Leibovitz, Jerry Ulesmann among others. In 2017, I recieved a brand new Nikon DSLR as a gift from family.
