I have been into photography for as long as I can remember. My first experiences taking pictures was going to the Knick games in NY with my Dad. I was about 12 and the Knicks were at hot team with Walt Clyde Frazier in the starting line up. I brought my camera, a 110 instamatic, and as we walk right past the action courtside to my Dads amazing seats, I snapped away, sometimes with a flash cube. Can’t say I won any awards for sports photography with those first pictures, but my excitement for photography was there, and my Dad’s gift of nearly front row access was a magic combination. A year later after my Bar Mitzvah and a little hustling, I was back, with my first real camera. A Nikon FM purchased with Bar Mitzvah money at 47th St photo, where they could have read the Torah better than me. So now I was close to the action with a real camera. My life in photography had officially begun.
