My interest in photography started at the age of 11 with the gift of an Argus C-3 from
my Dad. We were going to see the Red Rocks area in Colorado on vacation. Upon our
return I got hooked after seeing those slides projected on the big screen in the living
room. During college I was the photo editor of the campus newspaper and several
campus magazines. While there I also started doing head shots for class officer
candidates and actors and actresses in the theater department. This eventually lead to
doing theatrical portraits and publicity photos for shows in the Rush Street area of
Chicago. Around this time I also started shooting fashion for publication by several
clients. After graduation the studio was active in these commercial areas for twelve
years.
In 1980 we moved to Houston and I shut the studio and went into the computer
software installation area for manufacturing companies as well as doing some
consulting. From then until 1996 my photography was confined to personal work and
the occasional family picture. My other area of interest, computers, had now taken
over as the means of providing a living for the family instead of just being a hobby.
In 1996 I decided to do the mid life career change and go back to my first love,
photography. I’ll miss the friends and challenges of the computer industry but look
forward to staying home more and turning my creative energy to my photography.
In preparation for the opening of a country studio we acquired 13 acres of rolling land
near Montgomery, Texas north west of Houston. The basic studio is in place and
landscaping of the grounds has begun. When completed in the summer of 1998 we will
offer one of the finest outdoor setting for photography in the country. There will be
streams and ponds, nature trails, a gazebo, wildflower areas, a rustic area with horse
trough and fences, and a large vine covered arbor. We look forward to showing you
our new location when it’s complete and to serving your photographic needs with
classic portrait images as well as contemporary outdoor portraiture.
While winding down my consulting assignments I have been doing a substantial body
of work on location in Dallas, Houston, and the Caribbean under the Dynamic Images
logo. This has been primarily model portfolio work and glamour images for various
clients. This work has been my tuning ground for the reopening of the studio and will
continue to be one of our focus areas.
I hope this narrative will give you a feeling of where we’ve been and where we hope to
go in the future. Enjoy a tour of the rest of the site and please think of us in the future when you need photography.
