Joseph Miller has been photographing for over 65 years. He started long before Photoshop and other computer software programs existed. Thus, he believes it is important to get it right in the camera rather than relying on post processing programs. He firmly believes that photography is or can be an art form and was hired by Eastman Kodak. He feels that technical excellence alone is not enough, and believes that artistic considerations are more important. He has presented workshops and has written many articles on photography. He organizes and judges images in his Annual Abstract Photography Exhibit. He has attended workshops, programs  and lectures in the United States, Canada and South Africa given by his friend and mentor Freeman Patterson.
