Alan Lichtenstein, QPSA

I was born in Brooklyn, trained as a chemist but now I'm a retired assistant principal who purchased a digital camera in 2006, used it for 3 years in automatic until I finally decided I ought to learn what all those features and icons in the menu were. I'm an SOOC ( straight out of the camera) amateur and do no editing whatsoever, save occasional cropping and resizing where necessary. I particularly like images of sunrises and sunsets and I enjoy the blue and golden hours. My wife and I travel extensively, having been from the top of the world to the bottom, visited every continent and visited a country in every one of the 24 time zones. Because we travel with groups, I've rarely had time to set up a tripod, so virtually everything I have is hand-held. I am an unreconstructed Olympus user, but I traded in my E-5 and OM-10 for the SONY a-7 IV because I got tired of the 2.0 crop. Travel being my forte and great like, I've written three articles for the Travel Division Newsletter; one on Madagascar and its lemurs, another, about visiting, of all places, the NYC City Hall Subway Station, and the third, most recent about visiting Churchill, Canada to see the polar bears and the Northern Lights. My wife and I have been traveling for almost 25 years now, and are still going as strong as our advancing ages permit. I look forward to discussion in the group.

I am a Luxembourgish artistic and portrait photographer by passion who have been practicing photography over the past two and a half decades. My numerous roundtrips to Latin America since the late 90's have opened and shaped my photographic style into a photographic approach. With black and whites portraying indigenous, documentary, people to street photography scenes, I found what inspires me most. During the past years I have been engaged in developing a more artistic portraiture. Christian Kieffer / GMPSA / PJD Galaxy 1.
