Marty Connelly:
My love affair with photography began on my twelfth birthday when my parents gave me my first camera, a Kodak Brownie. After I returned from Vietnam in 1966, I purchased a Pentax Spotmatic SLR and joined the Westchester Color Camera Club. Here I learned the finer points of composition and exposure while becoming friends with some of the best amateur photographers in the country. After winning several Salon Awards, I was encouraged to develop my photographic talents further, but rasing my family and running my own business drew me away from this pursuit. I returned to photography in 1998 when I was given a Fuji S1 to take pictures of products for the company catalogue. Not only did this experience revive my enthusiasm for photography, but it also introduced me to the art of digital imaging and large format printing. Because I believe that the future of photography will be entirely digital, I have embraced this new technology, and now my photographs are taken with a Nikon D2X digital camera. I still own that Kodak Brownie given to me by my parents, and when I look at it, I realize just how far my skills and the art or photography have evolved over the past fifty years. As of today, I am dedicated to making the finest photographs I can using the best tools at my disposal. I also run a fine art printing service for other photographers and artists. We are capable of printing up to 44 inches wide by any length. Our process is archival using the highest quality media and inks. Web site www.shorephoto.com |
