[Larry Bullis <lbullis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

- - Name:  Larry Bullis

- - Profession/Study:  1) Photographer (generalist...  includes most areas 
from Archaeology to Zoology, Architecture to Opera, Design).  2) 
Photojournalist (magazine, editorial).  3) Fine artist.  4) College 
teacher (Photography, Art).  5) Author (photographic, interdisciplinary). 
 6) Other (Seems I've been on too many roofs lately, mostly mine.  Also, 
I helped some friends with their cafe as a short order cook last summer).

- - Country:  USA

- - Personal history of photography:  Began in 1963, studied in workshops 
with Minor White.  Frequent dinners with Imogen Cunningham.  Went to 
school, got degrees - 3, all in photo.  Worked in color labs for what 
seemed forever.  Started teaching in 1972, continued intermittently ever 
since.  Free lanced for a long time (whew!).  Maintained full - service 
color/bw lab at home for many years.  Profile: Low. 

- - preferred subjects: Subjects are not very important.  For me, a subject 
is just an opportunity.  I tend not to "take pictures of things" but 
prefer to make photographs.  If it's not one subject, then it's another.

- - materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):  Standard silver products, 
color and bw, and homemade ( Alt-Processes, especially cyanotype).  Will 
modify any process to suit my needs; eg. developing E6 films by 
inspection in split developers.  Have also worked with photo-etching and 
photosilkscreen.

- - format (35mm/medium format/large format):  All, from 35mm - 11x14 view 
camera.  I make lots of my own cameras; have been doing pinhole 
photography since 1975.  Also modify cameras by throwing away perfectly 
good lenses and replacing them with magnifiers, etc.  Especially enjoy 
using Astigmats (not ANAstigmats). 

- - Other strange hobbies:  Sea Kayaking, amateur philosophy, esoteric 
psychology.

- - How did you find out about this list:  Can't remember where.

- - Expand on anything photographic you like:  I've decided that there's no 
reason not to share absolutely everything I've learned in the 35 years 
I've been doing this.  If I get too agressive about it,  please just tell 
me to shut up. 

webpage is in development but there's probably enough to make it worth a 
look:
