ON MY OWN TIME, AT MY OWN SPEED!


When you live, eat, and breathe photography, it's awfully hard to distinguish your own time from that of your clients'! Some of the best shots you'll ever make are when you're "trying something new" or "just shooting one more frame" on assignment or just goofing around with your snapshot camera. I carry two kinds of snapshot cameras, a Contax G for 35mm and a Fuji GA645 for 2-1/4 shots. You just NEVER KNOW when that great shot will appear!


Yellowstone National Park

I enjoy shooting outdoors at home in Florida, but always am amazed at the scale of the Western US and its vast landscapes. This shot was made on Kodak Tri-X Pan with the Fuji GA645 camera.


Worm Farmer, Mississippi

I keep thinking that I'll get more time to shoot all of the strange fishing related places I find while out on the road. Jane's Bait and Tackle, Kate's Fish Camp, Hook-Line & Sinker and Yankeetown Boat Company are still on the "short list"! This was shot with the GA645 and Plus-X Professional film.


Enfield, CT

Places like this abandoned garden at a convent interest me as well. This shot is proof that having a camera in your pocket is smart. I made the photo with my old Nikon Action Touch and Kodacolor Gold 400 film.


Abe L. (Buddy) Tarapani, Jr., Tarpon Springs, FL

Throughout the Southern United States, there are still a few second and third generation merchants whose Jewish immigrant parents started and ran successful dry goods, clothing, shoe and specialty stores. I hope to get more time in the next few years to photograph the remaining few. I'd also appreciate any knowledge anyone has of individuals who still own a family store in the South. This shot was made with a Fuji GS645W and Tri-X film.

Vee Dubs are fun, too.....Florida weather makes them driveable all year long!

Be sure to let me know if you have an air-cooled model.
