Welcome to Kept Light Photography

Welcome to Kept Light Photography. This site is the result of more than two decades of writing, discussing, analyzing, and presenting content about photography. As you can find under the About menu block, I have been involved in photography for over six decades, had a dozen solo exhibits, gave birth to a ballet, ran workshops, and made many presentations.
