Bio “I was a young research chemist when I discovered photography. At that time, film photography was the ideal way to express my alternative side; my creative side. For many years I used my Olympus OM1n and 50/1.8 to good effect before moving on the through the range right up to to the OM4T1. What a delight that camera was. The joy of taking photographs manually never left me and 30 years later I embraced the Leica digital cameras with both arms. In the interim I continued with film photography and… Read More

Bio As it counts for more photographers, my life can be separated in two: the analog and the current digital photography era. To this day I’m still approaching photography regarding the analog techniques. But let me start at the beginning. My first serious camera was the world famous Praktica, produced in communist Eastern Germany. At that time I thought it was a serious camera. It was a splendid camera to learn about photography. I used both color and black and white film alternately. After some years I started developing the… Read More

Bio I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota as the son of a WWII veteran of Colorado’s U.S. Army Tenth Mountain Division. As a consequence, my older brother Bob and I spent a lot of time outdoors with our father, skiing, hiking and so on, all year round. I was not a big fan of my father’s favorite pastime of “bushwhacking” on skis or hiking through the woods or mountains all day long off-trail. As a young boy, I have a vivid memory of hundreds of jackrabbits running across the highway… Read More

Bio I hate the cliché of starting a bio with ‘I’ve been interested in photography since I can remember’. The problem is In my case it’s actually true – but it just took me a long time to realise it. I recently discovered a shot of me taking a selfie- I was probably around 7/8 years old. I think the camera is a 35mm Chinon rangefinder camera. My folks used this for all the family pics for years. It had a fixed lens – but was pretty much all manual. I… Read More

Bio I spent my childhood in St Ives, Cornwall during the 1950s and 60s. My father (Roger Slack) was a local doctor who arrived in 1947 and my parents quickly became involved in the artistic community; close friends included Barbara Hepworth, Patrick Heron, Tony O’Malley and Terry Frost and these were frequent visitors for dinner parties at our house outside St Ives. I started taking photographs at University, and continued; mostly with Contax SLR cameras, until, on a whim, in an airport in 2000 I bought an Olympus digital camera… Read More
Heinz Richter – Featured IPA member
Bio I was born and educated in Germany where I grew up in the photography business of my father in the small town of Barntrup, 50 miles southwest of Hanover. This gave a very early exposure to photography. My father always encouraged me to take pictures. For that reason he gave me a Leica III with 50mm f/2 Summar and 135mm f/4.5 Steinheil Culminar for my 5th birthday. I still have that camera, but it has not been used for many years after I changed over to digital. I also learned my… Read More
