I grew up inĀ Fulton, South Dakota and lived there until entering the U.S. Marine Corps at 17 yrs old. My photography adventure began in 1986 when I bought my first SLR camera in Okinowa Japan. It was a Pentax A-3000 which I still have to this day and use on occasion. I have taken photos all over the world but never realy took it seriously until a few years ago when I joined the Mitchell Camera Club.
Cool Bean Photography was created in Dec 2008. With each photoI take I strive to improve my techniques and abilities. I am currently working on a new darkroom to start developing my own photo's.
I have recently started doing Senior photos for a few people I will be adding a page for them if it is something I deceide to pursue in the future. Right now it is on a trial basis with no gurantees.
