Education

Although an Electrical Engineer by training, photography has been a necessary component of his life in order to exercise his ‘right-brain’ creativity.  Bill was initially trained in B&W darkroom techniques during summer school classes in a progressive grade school.  During  his later years in high school, he was the sole photographer for his yearbook and weekly newspaper, shooting and processing literally hundreds of feet of film.  During this period he also worked as a darkroom assistant in a local color photo studio specializing in portraiture and aerial photography.

Bill’s studio experience allowed him to learn much of the technical expertise and exposed him to large format photography.
