Branch Line Press presents
From 1965 through the early 1970s photography was my major pastime. Through high school and college I worked as a school newspaper and yearbook photographer, which provided film and many opportunities for photography. Music, politics, and railfanning were my other passions, and many of my photographs reflect these interests.

Technical Note: Nearly all of these photographs were taken with Pentaxes or a Nikon SP rangefinder 35mm camera, using lenses ranging from 35mm to 400mm. I almost always used Tri-X film for the black & white images and Kodachrome or Ektachrome for color.

NEW! I am now offering prints of all of my pictures on this website. Presently, we are only making 8x10 inch prints, although we hope to offer larger sizes in the future. I make all prints myself from the original negatives, using an Epson v-700 scanner and Photoshop, and then print them on a Canon Pixma printer. They only cost $15 apiece (plus shipping and handling).
