I want to take you back to elementary school when most of us learned we have Five Senses. They are, of course; Seeing, Hearing, Tasting, Smelling and Touching. Where in the world world we be without them? However most of us go through daily life taking them for granted. When you give it some thought, those senses are what Photography is all about. Great pictures make us want to taste something or drink something or want to go to a place like that, or even touch it. I try hard to incorporate one or more of the Five Senses into photography.. Seems like it always equates to a better photograph.
In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.
