Early Attempts at Photography

One of the few things that I enjoyed in high school was learning to develop pictures. My father had an old Voigtländer 35mm camera that he let me use. I was limited to using black and white film because it wasn't possible to develop color film at that time in the darkroom available to me. The process for color film was much more complicated. 

I had hoped to pursue photography when I enlisted in the Air Force. The recruiter said that it was a possibility. I didn't learn until I took my physical that I was colorblind, which limited my career choices.

I had adding a few pictures from when I was in high school. I was going through the drawers in my office over Christmas break and discovered these pictures. The last picture here was an occasion in which I placed one negative over another one.
