Carl is an artist who prefers to use photography as the medium for his work. His philosophy is that photography is an art and family history. Without artistic value, a portrait has no longevity. Therefore, it will not be part of family history. He has been involved in photography for more that 20 years. Carl started his photographic career in the darkroom as a custom printer/technician. This has proven to be a great asset to his photography and teaching career. He has gained national credibility and is now a favorite instructor teaching techniques nationally. His work has been featured in magazines, Kodak ads many books and he has taught all over the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Korea, and parts of Europe.
