I am a freelance photographer in a small town in Central Massachusetts. I have been in love with photography and taking photos of people and places since I bought my first film Pentax Super Program SLR back about 30 years ago. Now, nearly all of my photography is Digital, via my Nikon D700, Nikon D90, Canon Rebel T1i, and even my pocketable Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. In addition, I have owned digita
l cameras from Olympus and Sony, but I would have to say that Nikon is my camera of choice. I use Nikkor lenses generally, my Nikkor VR 18-200 3.5-5.6, my Nikkor 50mm 1. 8, and my Nikkor 16-35 wide angle getting most of my photographic action. My Canon is generally a backup, and I keep a Canon 18-55 zoom on it, but I replace it, for specical occasions, with the image-stabilized ultrasonic 75-300 lens or the 1.8 50mm lens. For developing, I do a great deal of post-processing, using Picassa 2.0 for everyday work, and Nikon Capture NX2 supplemented by Photoshop CS5 , Lightroom, and Photoshop Elements for most of my publishable work. For in-house printing, I generally use either my Canon i9900 or my Canon Pixma iP4600. In addition to being a professional photographer, I am a retired elementary school principal. After spending 37 years in education, I still serve as acting principal--on occasion--at various elementary schools in our district. Aside from my years as an administrator, I was a classroom teacher for 29 years, teaching students in elementary, middle school, and high school. I have always been known for my photos of children in the classroom, and the walls of my schools came alive with nearly a thousand 5×7 and 8×10 photos of children excited by their learning. My wife–who is a recently-retired middle schools special needs teacher–and I love to travel, and over the past 20 years we have cruised to Canada, nearly every island in the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico, and to 15-20 European destinations. At times we have traveled with my daughter who is also an educator, and my son, who is both working and attending community college. My travels have provided me with the material for nearly 100,000 photos, and hours upon hours of joy. One of my most exciting photographic experiences was a whirlwind 27 day cross-country trip from Boston as far west as Wyoming and Utah and then back. 8000 miles and nearly 9000 photos later, I am hoping to one day find a publisher who is interested in a photography book narrating my experiences. Many of these photos, as well as more recent photos from our Western U.S. trip, are showcased here on my website. Unless otherwise stated, all photographs are copyrighted (c) Mitchell R.
