[Alan Willis]

My name is Alan, I live in a small town on the edge of Lake Superior (Marquette, Michigan).

I got a Kodak 110 camera in the early 70s, then a Pentax K1000 as high school graduation gift. After college I worked (ever so briefly) as a photographer for a very small newspaper and got a truly professional 35mm (Cannon F1). I've long since stopped making my living with a camera but still enjoy it (I still use film, too!). I now have Nikon D80, and hope to improve my digital-based work here, as digital came into its own really after I changed careers to teaching history.

I just wish I had the time to do more photography!
