My Collection
Biography/Collector Statement
I worked as a professional photographer and photography teacher for approx. 30 years. Now semi retired I enjoy photographing images as seen through Kaleidoscopes. I have published some of my work in a few BKS newsletters. I also like to photograph some of the interesting metals and other shiny materials that the Kaleidoscope artists use in constructing their Kaleidoscopes.
Why I Collect
My whole family is fascinated by the Kaleidoscopes and the amazing artists that create them!!
Favorite Scope Type
Scopes with the Lens Ball as the eye
Favorite Part of Collecting
The outward beauty that the artists put into the final designs as well as the actual images that can be seen when looking through the eyepieces.
Searching for...
