The PPA (Professional Photographers of America), and IPPA (Intermountain Professional Photographers of America), and SEPPA (SouthEastern Professional Photographers of America) are the main professional organizations I have been a member of over the years. In the beginning I was able to study directly in the studio with early masters such as Don Blair, and walked Bryce canyon with cameras and tripods with David Muench of Arizona Highways fame. Also Frank Caricchio and many other Masters over the years when I attended the Winona School of Professional Photography back when it was held at Winona Lake Indiana, where a big influence on my photography. For a period of 3 years, I had the opportunity to work as a color lab manager out West, and later worked at Meisel Photochrome when I moved to Atlanta, as their main person to print all of Monte Zucker's photographs back in the late 70s and early 80s, and he even made a trip down to Atlanta to shake my hand and tell me what a wonderful job I was doing with his custom prints as I was the one who made all his custom wall prints back at that time. I very much wanted to meet and work with Ansel Adams back in the day but never had that opportunity. Wedding wise I had the opportunity to study with Rocky Gunn who was a cutting edge wedding photographer from California, and learned a lot from him about total wedding coverage, which today is called photojournalism. I have seen many changes in photography over the years, and I am sure I will see even more as things seem to progress in quantum leaps now in the field of photography. Some ask what kind of camera was around my neck when I was born, hoping I would say Canon or Nikon or some other brand that they might like best, but I have to say, I have used, and owned most all of them at one time or another.
Cathy's first experience with photography was to assist me at a wedding back before we were married. She tagged along and assisted for perhaps 500 weddings before she asked. "Can I get a camera for myself "?
