ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
Alan has been doing photography since 1965 when he started out with a used Ansco Memar 35 mm camera. This was quickly followed by a home darkroom equipped with a Durst M300 enlarger, and over the next few years, he pursued anintense hobby of black and white photography. The equipment was eventually upgraded to a Konica Auto S2 rangefinder and then an Olympus OM-2 SLR. He then branched out into scientific photography during his research years, publishing a variety of photographs in scientific journals, and later began to do clinical photography in different outpatient and hospital settings. In 2000, Alan purchased his 1st digital camera, a Sony DSC-S70, and coupled with the new archival quality Epson 2000P 6-ink printer, a Digital Darkroom was born. Now Alanshoots with a variety of gear including full-frame Nikon DSLR’s, medium format film cameras (Contax 645, Fuji GX-617, Horseman 612) and also an Ebony SW-45 4”x5” large format camera.
Minerva has been an avid photographer for the past 10 years, concentrating mainly on flower and landscape photography. This began when she moved to the Middle East and has continued to this day. She currently shoots with a full-frame Nikon D700 camera. She is a founding member of the SKMC photo club.
