Hi, i am not too sure how to do this yet and it looks as though i may have to do a little re arranging i was hoping to upload some photos to share with you and i am uncertain if they are available to be seen or not, it seems i probably should have added them to this particular page but i added it, i believe, to my profile!

If, by chance, you were able to see them, feel free to leave any comments you desire in regard to them! I love to hear what people think, good or bad, it's all about learning and eduction, at least for me it is!

I am currently a student of Professional Photography. I attend a fantastic school called NYIP (New York Institute of Photography), a school that has been educating Photographers for over 100 years! Quite impressive,…

I have just posted two photos of a camera whose only indication of a brand are "F. Deckel," "Semi-Sport." The lens is a Xenar f:3.5 F=7.5cm Schneider-Kreuznach. I cannot find any information other than the post in "Camerapedia" that says that F. Deckel was a maker of machined parts - including a leaf shutter for camera makers. I have also discovered that the shutter speed of the early models was set by moving the outer ring and that, on later models, the shutter speed was set by moving a marker around the ring. The camera takes 120 film and has rather advanced features regarding the loading and advance of the film. I am posting a picture here as well in the hope that someone might recognize the camera. My son believes that the camera may…

Recuerdo hace mucho tiempo atras mi primer contacto fotografico fue en un estudio fotografico.

En algunos estudios esas camaras modernas de la epoca en los estudios fotograficos famosos de mi ciudad , como no recordarlos, J.Cano, Esparsa, los hnos. Alviz, se disinguian en el centro de la ciudad , los estudios quedaban en ambientes de casonas coloniales o en edificios de arquitectura republicana o modernos , la otra cara de la moneda eran los fotografos ambulantes los que pululaban alrededor del parque Duammel , un parque de por si muy acoguedor rodeado de arquitectura colonial ,republicana y moderna, alli con camaras echas tal vez por ellos mismos, recuerdo que cubrian la camara con un manto negro, yo no sabia porque, luego sacaban y metian…

Most people haven't heard of World Photography Day. For photography lovers, it's just a day to come together and celebrate the awesome hobby of photography. World Photography Day has been celebrated pretty steadily for the past twenty years. The date of August 19th is chosen because that was the day the newly-invented Daguerrotype was announced to the public by the French government, in 1839. The year 1839 is unofficially the year that photography was invented.

So, for World Photography Day, throw a party and celebrate your skills! It only comes once a year!
