I'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH A CAMERA SINCE I WAS A RUGRAT... MY JUNIOR YEAR AT BROOKLYN TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL I WAS PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR OF THE NEWSPAPER... WITH A STAFF OF 4... INCLUDING A SENIOR WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN EDITOR I WASN'T AROUND... MY SENIOR YEAR I WAS PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR OF BOTH THE NEWSPAPER & YEAR BOOK... THE EDITOR & CHIEF OF THE YEARBOOK... WHO WAS PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR RAN THE PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF... THE ART EDITORS JUST GRABBED MY PICTURES TO USE IN THE YEARBOOK... ABOUT HALF THE PICTURES IN THE YEARBOOK WERE MINE... IN MY SOPHOMORE YEAR I MET BEN FERNANDEZ (http://www.benedictjfernandez.com/)... AFTER SEEING HOW HE WAS HUSTLING TO SURVIVE I DECIDED PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY WAS NOT FOR ME... ELECTRONICS WAS MORE FUN... & LESS HASSLE... EVENTUALLY I WOUND UP CO AUTHORING US PATENT US4918623 (https://www.google.com/patents/US4918623)... ITS BUILT INTO EVERY MODEM...

ANOTHER INTERESTING TIDBIT FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS... STEVEN SASSON'S SENIOR PICTURE IS ON PAGE 143 OF MY YEARBOOK (1968)... HE CO AUTHORED US PATENT US4131919 (https://www.google.com/patents/US4131919)... Electronic still camera... DOUBT IF I EVER ACTUALLY MET HIM... THERE WERE SOMETHING LIKE 1500 SENIORS...

NOW THAT I AM RETIRED I AM PERUSING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE FUN... ON A STRICTLY "TFP" BASIS...
