In between working for KTAL and KTBS, I became a professional photographer for a very short time, with a crash-course in training from Dr. Eddie Shell, formerly of BPCC.  He and his wife welcomed Casey and me into their home one summer to learn as much as possible.  My son was my practice target.  I taught him how to shoot and he would help me on my photo sessions with children.  This is all the past.  I’m trying now to learn all the digital stuff.  This was old school Cannon A-1 stuff that’s been scanned.  Click on “Photos I took!”
