Russ is an amateur photographer who has been making images for over 45 years, though he readily admits that his early photographs were not very good. In fact, he says it has only been in the last 10 years or so that his artistic vision, along with his technical skills, have begun to mature. For most of those 45+ years Russ was an analogue photographer, starting with 35mm and later medium format, which included developing his own film and prints in a home darkroom. He moved to digital just three years ago, which he says has substantially evolved his photographic capabilities and in turn his passion for photography.
