A photographic image results when the artist, using a camera, captures the fleeting and strange beauty between light and shadow. I can’t remember exactly when I took my first photograph. But it was sometime in the early 1950s, with my mother’s Kodak Brownie Hawkeye box camera. The photographer looked down into a miniscule viewfinder on top of the camera (the images were upside down and backwards, of course), and pressed a little metal lever to take the shot. That’s it. No focus or exposure or timing. Point and shoot. Black and white. I was hooked. Over the past four decades I’ve shot tens of thousands of frames for publications, companies, and my own pleasure in many parts of the world. I subscribed to the philosophy that “film is cheap; take lots of shots and a few of them will be winners.” With the advent of digital, it became “electrons are free; take lots and lots of shots and a few more of them will be winners.” I certainly enjoy shooting them. I hope that you enjoy owning them. John Prince
