I acquired my first camera, a Pentax Spotmatic F, in 1973. Joined the Northwest Classen yearbook and newspaper as a junior, realized photography was my calling as a senior.
Went to CSU and in my third semester was hired at The Oklahoman, November 1976. Graduated CSU (UCO) in 1980 with degree in photojournalism. Worked as a stringer for Sports Illustrated in the '80s. Was photography department manager for 14 years.
Inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame in 2018.
I've had 3 solo and 2 other shared art exhibits and was a finalist for the Skirvin Artist-in-Residence program administered through Paseo Artist Association. in 2019.
After using Canon for 42 years, switched to Fujifilm 3 years ago. Gannett just switched The Oklahoman from Canon to Sony. I'm sticking with Fujifilm for personal work.
