Biography<\/h1>\n
\"Bill
Bill Tongue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My first camera was a Polaroid Land Automatic 100 which I received as a wedding present. After a few dozen shots of my reflection in the mirror while shooting pics of my new bride having a bubble bath in the heart shaped honeymoon tub and a few months of polluting the world discarding the polaroid negatives I purchased a Mamiya 1000 DTL and I was hooked. I took every class I could, read every magazine, built a small lab and took thousands of snaps of the kids and then burned out on photography. Then, the first grandchild came along. On the way to the hospital I stopped and purchased an Olympus C-720 3.0 mega pixel with a 128 Mb memory card. Wow, instant access to my pictures. The digital passion was ignited.
\nOver the next several years I built on my original Nikon purchase, began shooting events, got bored, jumped into landscape photography and, at a flea market, discovered there was a market for my pictures. Not the pure landscape shots but the \u201cenhanced\u201d versions. Post processing and digital painting became my 2nd passion. I have been reinventing myself and my photographic style ever since.<\/p>\n

 
\nI am past president and currently a director of the Digital Photography club of Annapolis, have been published, done some magazine work and I am a volunteer photographer for Wounded Warrior events. My work has been exhibited at Maryland Hall, the Maritime Museum, the Galleries and Quiet Waters and private galleries. At home I have a small portrait studio where I offer formal, informal, high school senior portraits and boudoir photography. I also teach digital post processing, have lectured at Maryland Hall and offer Annapolis area photography workshops. Currently, I am working on two photography books. The first is a book of caricatures from my street shooting trip to Ireland and, I am working with a tattoo artist from the TV show Ink Masters to spotlight his art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
