childhood story

 
The lessons that I received in my early childhood in charcoal, oil painting, and cartoons paid by my grandmother allowed me to develop an understanding and appreciation for shapes, shadows and forms as art subjects.

Later, studies in drafting (engineering) helped me with perspective and composition, all which would eventually impact my ability to recognize photographable images and capture them with my cameras.
