About the Photographer
|
This site is currently a labor of love with the objective of becoming a viable image library and unique informational resource . A precise business plan for the site is not currently defined but there are a significant number of hits in the petroleum logistics and photographic equipment sections, with the balance of the hits spread fairly evenly over the image pages. The future of the site will most likely be guided by web hits and available opportunities. The photographic marketplace is extremely competitive and it will be difficult to succeed without developing a unique niche.
I originally became interested in photography in the late 60's and actually did a limited amount of part time professional photography at that time. However, as a 20 or 30 something amateur, photography becomes secondary relative to getting an education, pursuing a career, and raising a family. In short, the mini cam and point and shoot replaced the SLR. Fortunately, in the late 90's, I was working on some relatively large petroleum logistics projects, decided to drag out my old photography equipment and captured on film some really unique and obscure engineering feats. Expanding the scope of photography beyond petroleum logistics and the development of this site followed.
Why did I name the site "The Photo Experience"? Since I do not currently make a living at photography, I use the photographic medium as a means of expanding my knowledge and experiences. Photography is a good excuse to get out and explore life whether it be traveling, watching wildlife, attending auto races, surfing contests, or anything else that comes along.
Why photography, because through photography I am able to capture the minute nuances and transitory beauty of life which might be missed in other mediums and activities. |
