If someone had told me ten years ago that I would be doing photography, or that my photography would find its way into several juried photography shows, I would not have believed it. I am an artist. I paint, cut out, paste, print and draw. But wait a minute . . . who says photographers aren't artists! I was never much good at taking pictures when growing up, so I was discouraged at an early age. My brother was good at this. I left the family photographic fame up to him. Then along came digital cameras and computer graphics, and I was hooked. You just can't botch a photo with a digital camera - only the composition. I was already good at composition, so digital imaging was a fruit ripe for picking. Computer graphics opened a whole new world to creativity. So there you have it. I can now unashamedly call myself a photographer - or as I prefer - an image creator.
...how in the world did you get a picture of your Solitaire Win [Aced!]! I played the other day, and it constantly
moves! I couldn't even think of
photographing that. Gene, Artist’s Network Forum
