Photography Experience
SEMINARS TAKEN
Nikon School of Photography — 1974
Commercial and Scenic Photography – Sponsored by Meisel Photochrome Corporation — 1976
Nikon School of Photography — 1976
PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING RECEIVED
Magazine & Freelance Photography - Sponsored by Meisel Photochrome Corporation — 1976
Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour - Photoshop CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS6 sponsored by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals of which I have been a member since 2005.
Among the many sporting events that I have photographed, these stand out:
Two NCAA Final Four (Basketball), One NFL Superbowl, One NBA Final Championship game and several events at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
I owned a photography business from 1972 until 1991 and resumed it from 1998 to present.
For close to 18 years I photographed the USC Gamecocks Football games from the sidelines and the Basketball games from under the basket. During that time I photographed about 14 covers for USC’s Basketball Press Guides. While photographing for the Sports Information Office I took on a variety of assignments to include photographing the coaches and their families, baseball games, golf and other assignments.
I worked in publishing from 1970, starting as Editor of BOBBIN until retiring in 1998 as Publisher & President Emeritus. This provided me the opportunity to be a photojournalist for 28 years and travel the world over, always with my cameras.
While photographing for the Basketball News, a Century Publishing publication out of Evanston, IL, I had the opportunity to travel throughout the country and photograph in most NBA arenas.
