I have enjoyed taking pictures since I was a teen.  In my thirties I spent several years working for a print shop developing film, making halftones and working on the presses. I was fascinated with the process and enjoyed seeing various photographers bring in their work.  Shortly after that, I received my first 35mm camera, as a gift, and put together a black and white darkroom in a closet.  I now have the opportunity to study photography full-time with experienced teachers, and a group of students who challenge and inspire me. Where do I envision myself in the future?  So far, my favorite areas are documentary, photojournalism and landscape. Together, photography and writing give me an chance to express some of my ideas in a new and exciting way.  Where that will lead, I’m not sure yet!

Hi.  My name is Larry Jones. I’m a student at Carteret Community College and this is my blog.  It’s work in progress, so please come back soon!
