Well this whole photography started when I was introduced to a class at Peter Burnett Junior High School in San Jose. And they had a photography class on Fridays, so I joined the class and became very interested in photography. And there was one fellow in San Jose, his name was Warren Okagaki and he sort of showed me how to process film, develop film, and make prints. And I sort of became very interested in photography. And so from junior high school, I attended San Jose High School and became the photographer for the San Jose High School newspaper and also the yearbook.
