A Long Road To A Happy Accident Photographing Hothouse Beauties

摘要

I began as a photographer back in 1952 whiLe in the US Air Force during the Korean conflict. After being assigned to duty in Anchorage, Alaska, I found myself in an environment of great natural beauty, so taking pictures was both logical and a much better option than drinking beer and playing cards in the canteen. The first happy accident in my life as a photographer came as a result of a back injury that led to changing my military job assignment to that of a photographer. Since then, I have found that taking pictures of the subjects I find beautiful is seldom satisfied by paid assignments. Getting out to take pictures of landscapes and nature became a rare "busman's holiday" from the day-to-day of a career photographer making a living.
