ABOUT Ronald J. Saunders
Photography is not a business for me and has never seemed like work. My first camera as a boy was a Kodak Brownie. This instrument never brought any satisfaction as I cannot remember having any picture that was in focus. I wonder if they were all that way? My father gave me his Kodak Retina which did focus and eventually provided the satisfaction of taking a great picture. Later, a Canon A1 and eventually my Mamiya 645 would futher add to the improvement of my work. They also seemed to focus well.

I have owned several digital cameras in the last few years and currently shoot with a FujiFilm S2-Pro SLR. Most of the images exhibited here were taken with this camera or my earlier S1-Pro. Digital cameras are here to stay and rival images taken with film cameras. I prefer a CCD camera and will continue with that technology until CMOS convinces me that it has advanced to a point of equivalency of most CCD's under comparable lighting conditions.

The proper equipment is essential. In addition to a great camera, the quality of the lens is equally important. A cheap lens just doesn't provide the satisfaction of a high quality product. I no longer waste time struggling to make Brownie quality componets work.
