First Exhibited Image

2006, First photo i ever exhibited.... in California at The Center for Photographic Art in Carmel.......

I remember the angst about accepting, because i was new to photography and was pushed by a fellow photographer into submitting images as a good exercise.. but not yet identifying myself as a true photographer... i was bashful (yes me) about it

little did i know when they accepted , they asked me to size my images at a certain DPI and i freaked out , and told friends no can do.. i don't even know what that is.. I'm a fake!!!

Later on in an interview in a publication while i was still rather new, i titled it in big bold letters.....WHAT IS AN F STOP? i figured I'd out myself first

but everyone supported and pushed me .. i learned fast....even F stop and Shutter Speed and the rest is history.....
