Profile/Bio
I am a graduate electrical engineer with a passion for photography, audio and video.I worked for 39 years for Eastman Kodak, mostly on the equipment side of the business.For many years I had managed engineering projects for Kodak, including several in the (electronic) color field.This engineering background in color has given me a good understanding of the science of color and what is needed to obtain peak performance from a video display.
For many years I had my own color darkroom and took pride in printing (the old fashioned way) properly color balanced pictures.Eventually, this gave way to the electronic darkroom (aka “Photoshop”), and also a shift in Kodak’s business model.Fortunately, I was on the electronic side of the business and had been involved in several electronic imaging projects (which I found very rewarding).
In my early days (60s) with Kodak, I had a passion for Color TV and was an early adopter.I could frequently be found even in those days “setting-up” friends ColorTVs.That passion continued until my retirement in 2001.I opted to turn this into a “mini-career” in January 2002.
I pride myself in taking the time to do the job right and limit my service area to avoid the pressure of having to get on to the next scheduled appointment.
