My interest in photography began at age 13 or so, when I discovered that the 
photography 
books in the local library contained pictures of bare naked women.  Spending so 
much time 
with those books, I stumbled on the technical sections and got interested in 
the equipment 
and process.  Since then, I've worked in a camera store, done a stint in 
commercial 
photography, owned way too many cameras, built several darkrooms, taken 
classes, gone to 
workshops, and made thousands of photographs of one kind or another for 45 
years.  Only 
recently, have I begun to make images that I find <cough> artistically 
satisfying.

I think I've enjoyed every part of the experience.
