Totally self-taught, he sold a package of pictures to National Wildlife while still in graduate school. After graduating with a BA in philosophy and a Masters degree in American literature and comparative religion, he taught for two years at the University of Wisconsin and another two at Western Michigan University Western Michigan University, at Kalamazoo, Mich.; coeducational; founded in 1903 as Western State Normal School, became accredited in 1927 as a college, gained university status in 1957. and wasn't happy as a college instructor. He was single, didn't have any mortgages, so he decided it was a good time to try his hand as a freelance nature photographer. That was 1971 and he has never looked back and has never done anything except nature photography. In the early 1970s he teamed with a friend each summer to give week-long nature photography workshops that were a novel idea in that era and were successful. Disappointed with the photographic texts that told readers what to do, but not how to do it, he began writing his own explicit how-to nature photography books. The publishers considered them unmarketable--a fact he reminded them of when, finally on the market, the sales of his first book reached 500,000 copies. John says, "If I were told to take a vacation I would do exactly what I do for a living. I know I am truly blessed to be able to say that."

I've said it many times, but I'll say it again: to be a better nature photographer you need to be a better naturalist. I see far too many photographers whose only desire is to win points in competitions or to have their pictures published, rather than developing an interest in the subject matter itself. Many times in the field I've had equipment-laden photographers come over to me, point at a subject, and ask what they had photographed since they had no knowledge about it. In my mind, nature itself--its beauty, its diversity, its infinite complexity--is what we should first contemplate, and then we should take our photographs to show these attitudes to others. Points and publishing are far secondary. I can thank my parents for instilling in·still also in·stil tr.v. in·stilled, in·still·ing, in·stills also in·stils 1.

I grew up in western Pennsylvania Western Pennsylvania consists of the western third of the state of Pennsylvania in the United States. Pittsburgh is the largest city in the region, with a metropolitan area of about 2.4 million people, and is the cultural center for Western Pennsylvania. where my parents had purchased an old farm north of Pittsburgh.

" people and wanted what they considered to be the benefits of rural life. Thanks to them I was in kid heaven: forests to explore, streams and wetlands to investigate, hills to climb. On summer vacations we would drive for days to visit far away National Parks. In passing I might mention that my earliest memory in life is of our camping in Yellowstone when I was about three years old. I trust that today, with our sprawling suburbia and materialist lifestyles, we as adults can still offer our children what my parents offered me. I would challenge all of us, parents and grandparents, to make all effort to do so. When I was in junior high school I received my first camera and I've been photographing ever since. With my first good interchangeable lens SLR, a new world opened up and I was hooked more than ever. I read every book available on taking pictures, but not much was written specific to nature photography. So I enrolled in the "trial and error" school of learning about how to photograph. I made every mistake possible: opening the camera back before rewinding, not checking depth of field, shooting with no film in the camera ... you name it, I did it. To quote the late Dudley Moore Noun 1. Dudley Moore - English actor and comedian who appeared on television and in films (born in 1935) Dudley Stuart John Moore, Moore , "I learned from my mistakes and could repeat them exactly." Over time I learned my craft and eventually plunged into freelancing as a professional nature photographer.

Well, I knew that I needed to use flash in that situation, but exactly how did one go about doing so? Or the book would suggest, "carefully determine your exposure" without ever telling me just how I was supposed to determine any exposure, nevermind doing so carefully. One book I read spent the first three chapters on the history of nature photography--interesting perhaps, but of no help to me in making better photographs. I came to realize that there must be other photographers in the same situation as I--wanting specific how-to information, but frustrated frus·trate tr.v. frus·trat·ed, frus·trat·ing, frus·trates 1. a.

My proposal made the rounds of the New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of publishing houses. I was turned down by several, including Amphoto (my eventual publisher) who wrote back to tell me that not only were they not interested, but that they thought my book idea was unmarketable. Months later they asked to see the proposal again and admitted that perhaps the editor who had responded earlier was too abrupt in his judgment. I hate to admit this, but I still have that original rejection letter A rejection letter is a form of communication, print or otherwise, indicating the refusal of assent (viz: rejection) of a recommended course. There are numerous types and subtypes of rejection letters. from Amphoto--I enclosed a copy of it with a rather pointed note when my first book went past 500,000 copies sold. One aspect of photography that particularly fascinates me is its dual nature. On one hand you must be the visually creative artist, intuitive and responsive to your surroundings. You must be poetic, sensitive, aware of the nuances of feeling. On the other hand you must be a craftsman, dealing with f-stops, equipment, lens choices, and metering decisions. This is the dichotomy of all the arts: the relationship between form and content, between technique and vision, between the craftsman and the artist. One without the other is a dismal failure. We've all seen photos that are technically perfect, but with no soul, no emotion, no vision. And we've all seen pictures that are totally personal and intense, but with no technique. I believe that for most people, once they get beyond being a rank beginner, the major problem lies in mastering the technical. I assume that people who are passionate about photography are indeed visual people--they literally see the world; they think in images, else why would they carry a camera? Their problem is how to translate those images they have in their mind's eye onto film. This is a technical problem and can be solved. Yet I have always been amazed at the number of people who are otherwise competent in life but are totally frustrated with cameras, being overcome with f-stop numbers and shutter (1) An opaque window that is moved in one direction to let light in and in another to close off the light. In fixed-lens cameras, one shutter often suffices for aperture and speed. speeds. These same people are in real life surgeons or lawyers or teachers. Consequently almost everything I've written has addressed the technical side of photography; I've attempted to address the very "how-to" that earlier I so much wanted to find in books. But an awareness of good photo technique by itself does not equate with the ability to produce good photographs. Above all we need an awareness of light and color. Too often color nature photography has been dismissed as mere postcard photography, a less than creative genre. But we don't have to record just the literal, the expected, the everyday landscape. There is magic in nature, in its wildness and weather. Opening ourselves to be receptive to this magic, we can transcend the literal as we discover more about our own selves. We can photograph our ideas. Today I'm involved in a new learning experience, that of the digital darkroom Using digital hardware to create pictures. With digital cameras, scanners and computer printers, darkroom operations are performed in the light of day. . I've been running Photoshop[R] for a number of years, combining fairly high-end computer equipment with state-of-the-art printers. I am absolutely convinced that, for me, the digital darkroom is far superior to the chemical one as it allows me real-time response and the ability to work on images in ways that are impossible in the traditional darkroom darkroom, n a completely lightproof room or cubicle that is used in the processing of photographic, medical, and dental films. See also safe light. . I have no desire to make composite images, create unrealistic color, or radically manipulate or modify the images on my original transparencies. I just want to make a good print, preserving the integrity of the image in a true representation of my experience. I'm excited about what the future holds with digital capture. I'm looking forward to the next generation of digital cameras--the Nikon D2 or D37 and the possibilities they will bring. Who knows ... perhaps I can see myself doing one more book, on the how-to of the digital world.

PSA Region Director of the Year Richard Whitley I cannot think of many people who join an organization and jump in at a full run to help that organization. Richard Whitley, the Region Director of Region One, is that type of person. When he first became Region Director in 1999 he sent 200 letters to former PSA members in Region One. Eight of those members again became active PSA members. He has sent 56 letters to those listed on the dropped list. 21 of those members rejoined. This is not counting the 110 welcoming letters to new members, and numerous phone calls to members whose membership was about to expire. Richard is continually promoting PSA and signing new members along the way. He has received his first Membership Star. He gives "how-to" workshops that promote services available through "how-to" PSA slide sets. He also gives camera club programs that tell of the services and activities of PSA, and how to take advantage of them. He supported and helped develop a new camera club. He never stops. Soon, he will be giving a talk on PSA to the National Institute of Health, a government agency that has a camera club. Richard Whitley is a much-deserved recipient of the Region Director of the Year ward. John Pitt--PSA Membership VP Joseph P. Fallon, Jr. Memorial Award Dr. Louis F. Romain, FPSA, EPSA EPSA Electric Power Supply Association EPSA European Pharmaceutical Students Association EPSA Exploration & Production Sharing Agreement EPSa Elektronik & Präzisionsbau Saalfeld GmbH (German electronics manufacturer) Probably no one in the last 50 years has worked harder for the Society than this year's recipient of the Joseph P. Fallon, Jr. Memorial Award than Dr. Louis F. Romain, FPSA, EPSA. In the old membership team configuration, he was an Area Representative for 8 years and a District Representative for 10 years. In 1988 he was District Representative of the year. At one time he held the job of PSA Membership Vice President.
