I have been interested in photography since the late 50's. I was processing black & white film in the early 60's in high school. I worked for Polaroid in Cambridge MA for 12 years. While stationed in Japan on my first Vietnam tour I bought my first Olympus. It was 1965 and the camera was a Pen-F half frame.
I got into digital a couple of years ago with the E500. Later I bought an SP560UZ which is a great camera. I now shoot with an E620 with an 18mm to 180mm as my primary all purpose lens. I occasionally use the 2 lens that came with the camera. I have an FL-36 and a double battery powerpack that fastens to the bottom of the camera. I carry an Olympus S9000 12MP camera on my belt for any shooting opportunities.
I have experience in the following areas:
· Electro-Mechanical engineer for about 30 years designing packaging equipment and electric motor winding machinery.
