I entered photography in the 1950s , via the Brownie Hawkeye, and have enjoyed the photographic experience on many different levels since then. During my working years I utilized the SLR as one of my tools of the trade. Now in retirement as a way to document local conservation issues. But most of all, as a constant companion through my world travels. The large DSLRs have now all but given way to my trusted little Fuji X100, which almost takes me full circle.
