With more than 50 years of photographic experience, taking pictures has always fascinated me. At 12 I began developing my own film in a makeshift darkroom. By the time I was 30; I owned and operated a photographic supply store and a small studio, which I used for portraits and commercial photography. I performed custom developing and printing for businesses in both B&W and color negative medias. I also provided same day, in-house processing which was not as common then as it is currently. Today I use the most modern equipment available and have taken the latest classes in the new technology, to produce fine quality artwork. I specialize in nature and environmental photography. I have photographed people and nature all over the world, but I prefer to capture the scenic beauty of America. Please visit my web site at www.LYPhotography.com for a complete overview of my work.
