a&nbsp;beautiful landscape or&nbsp;a tranquil sunset, he\u2019d rather be exploring&nbsp;abandoned places and&nbsp;capturing the details of the layers of paint and rust on a discarded automobile.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greg enjoys&nbsp;searching used bookstores for photo collections and&nbsp;has over 180 books&nbsp;(as of&nbsp;Oct&nbsp;2023) on and about photography. &nbsp;He finds inspiration from master photographers and a wide range of subjects, such as: the close-up beach studies by Minor White, the early portraiture of Steichen and Stieglitz, and street scenes by Andre&nbsp;Kertesz. &nbsp;He&nbsp;enjoys teaching others and sharing his passion for photography and&nbsp;speaks&nbsp;at camera clubs near&nbsp;his home in the greater Denver area, but also&nbsp;speaks&nbsp;and judges&nbsp;virtually to clubs across the US.&nbsp;You can see Greg\u2019s work on his website&nbsp;<a
