My love of photography began when, at the early age of
almost 11 years old,
I received a Kodak Brownie Camera for
Christmas. The photo below, taken in 1960
when I was 13 years
old, is the view from atop the State Capitol Building in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I've improved a little since then. :-)
Here
are some of my favorite photos taken through the years.
