I ceased doing photography last October. Those were my last sessions. I have no business at all those that I took last year were mainly people that I had done family pictures for for years and I just finished up the last of their family. I no longer do photography after 60 years. Yes, I have cameras, but I have no real interest in picking up and shooting at all anymore, I’ve been doing this since I was 12 years old and I’m 72 now. Time to move on to my next project. What most people don’t know is that I have been struggling since May I started to declining healthwise. I was walking 6 to 8 miles a day and now I can barely walk up the steps my hands shake. I had several people knocking at the door yesterday wanting to get pictures taken. And I appreciate that, but I’ve got other things to do that. I was charged to work on years ago. I also have challenges and will find out today.  I appreciate everything I got to do and all that I got to do as a photographer. I traveled all over the world. I spoke in many countries and I was well recognized and I don’t ignore that. I was getting paid a lot of money just to even show up and I’ve made great money Much more than most. I met a lot of well-known people. I had a lot of great opportunities and still do.  There are over 100 photographers listed in Cass County or more.  I haven’t touched lighting or a camera or set up anything in the studio for over a year and I can’t tell you how I did it back then I was shooting album covers two or three years ago, but I can’t tell you how I used to do it I don’t remember. My last album that I worked on five years ago just came out and I have all two pictures for that album which I’m proud of because of the images used for the cover and the inside.  Everything was magic when I was working full-time.
