When I was a junior in high school my advisor asked about my dreams. I told him I wanted to be a photographer and travel the country in a “55 Packard. He probably rolled his eyes so hard it hurt but then he enrolled me on the yearbook staff. I loved it! Recording student life, developing black and white film, and bringing photographs to life in the darkroom spoke to my soul. Two years later it was off to college and a different yearbook staff. With better instruction and equipment my skills grew. I had found my passion.
