One of the perks of being retired is the ability to go to coffee shops and relax with my wife and friends and drink the ambrosia that is coffee. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit my friend's roasting operation.
I have been a photographer for over a forty years. The first time I tried photography was in college; my camera and all my slides got stolen.......
The second time, my photographic experience got better. I got a "modern" camera to take pictures of my son. Then it was my son and the neighbor kids. Several parents came to me and asked me to take portraits of their children..."real" portraits, not Sears' portraits........
Then it happened, "My daughter is getting married........". I became a wedding photographer, a weekend warrior.
Today, after over a quarter of a century, I am becoming an art photographer.............
