My attempts at Photography - Part 1 - Sunsets and such like


Photography has always been of interest to me. My earliest memories of photos were seeing some of Ansel Adam's and Henri-Cartier Bresson's work in a book.

The striking black and white images of Aspen, the gold sale in China and many more. Unfortunately I can't remember the names of most of them. But do go to a library near you to look at the great photographs.

My first camera was a hand me down B&W film camera and I have vivid memories of using it. Of course in those days I understood nothing about light and backgrounds etc and my first roll ended up being shots of dark faces with a very bright background behind.

The interest continues and while the cameras have become better, my photography remains .....!!!

I will let you decide for yourself.

This first series is those of sunsets shot in Nevada, Orlando, NJ.
