Roger Crill – Photography Bio - My first memories of photography were watching my father use his twin-lens reflex camera and then helping in the darkroom when I was about 4. I was allowed to move the pictures from the stop bath to the fixer and water bath. Growing up and into college, photography seemed to be a lot of work without a lot of satisfaction. After being introduced to SLR cameras in college, photography became interesting again. I did a lot of travel and created many travel photo albums and slide trays. I waited a long time before getting my first digital camera, a Canon Rebel XT. That spelled the demise of my film cameras and black and white darkroom. I was hooked. Photography was not nearly as much effort. Having worked extensively with computers in engineering, organizing, modifying, and storing digital files seems much more practical. Now entering the mirrorless world, I enjoy the added automation, control, and options of the new equipment. Though I have photographed weddings and graduations for friends and family, wildlife and travel are my main interests. After 60 years, I am comfortable with the basics of the technical side of creating a photograph; it is time to slow down and concentrate on the artistic aspects. Being a active member of camera clubs for 30 years and PSA since 2019, I have participated in many contests held club offices and participated in competition judging
