I grew up in the Detroit, Michigan area. With degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration, I began work in the early 1960’s as a loss prevention engineer for an industrial property insurance company. I stayed with that organization for 45 years, held several diverse positions, and moved from Michigan to the Cleveland area and finally to the Boston area. My interest in photography began in the late 1960’s. I purchased a 35mm camera and subsequently several lenses. Business trips to countless cities and towns throughout the Midwest and vacations to western states and western Canada resulted in many photos during the 60’s and 70’s. By 1980, my camera ended up in the back of a closet and soon was forgotten. What happened? Got married, bought a house in West Bridgewater, had two sons, etc. I no longer had the luxury of spare time. Fast forward to mid-2008 (time really did pass quickly); my wife, Eveyln and I both retired. The kids graduated from college, have been working for several years, and no longer live at home. Within a month of retiring I bought a digital camera and began the journey of relearning photography. (Might take me the next 30 years to master it.) I still do not have much spare time. There’s a long list of household projects Evelyn reminded me of that I never got to when I was working. Additionally, I’m involved in numerous other activities including duties as a Church Treasurer. The last two images represent the start of two recent projects at home.
The following images represent some efforts to date.
