From here, at one-day old...

To this, at one-year old, and, appearances to the contrary...

He is not a drunk...

But he does have good taste in beer!

Dr. F.: I have been a professional photographer in DC for over thirty years, and for the past several years, an adjunct college professor as well. I teach courses in photography, photo history, and film appreciation. I have always been opinionated, yet I have always tended to cede the soapbox to those with a greater compulsion to use it. That said, I was reading Esther Iverem's excellent new book on Black people in film called "We Gotta Have It" in which she says something to the effect that we all have just as much a right to our own voice as anyone and maybe more, and it really resonated with me. It is in part to help me hone my voice that I have started this blog. The other part is to have a place where I can share some of my photos and get some honest feedback about them. As an artist, I've always sort of acted in a vacuum, but I've come to realize, belatedly, the importance of getting feedback regarding my work.
