Retired, my professional career has always been involved with imagery.
An Aerial Surveillance officer in the 60's, an illustrator supporting DOD in the 70-80's, a communications director in video and television in the 90's, I finished my day to day as a COO in the development of architectural CAD.
My oldest son, a professor, teaches Computer Animation and 3D Modeling at VaTech, and keeps me young as I keep up with Blender, Painter, Modo, Vue, Poser, ZBrush, and my own Vectorworks 3D CAD. Reaching 65 in Sept, I am proud to be even associated with what this industry has developed into. A smile is on my face as I think back at my original 5" B/W screened portable "35lbs" Osbourne. Even wide-eyed then, I could have never guessed.
