Featured Photographer - October 2016
Bruce Woodcock
I am a native So Cal country boy. My childhood was spent in what is now
Westminster, California. From the tree in my backyard I could see the
ocean only 8 miles away - only farm land separating me from the beach.
My summers were spent getting up early and riding my bike to the beach
- surfing, skimboarding, fishing, skin diving.
I served two years in the Army from 1966-68. Got lucky and was sent to
Korea instead of 'Nam for 13 months. The G.I. Bill put me through
college (10 long years of night school). I finally received my B.A. in
Business Administration from California State University, Fullerton in
1978. After 34 years working for GTE before it became Verizon, I retired
in 1999.
It wasn't until I married my wife Sandy in 1981 that I became interested
in photography, with the help of a second hand Nikon F2. That's how I
learned to use a fully manual camera. That and taking a few classes and
a lot of notes about each slide. Now I shoot with a Nikon D90 which I
bought shortly after I joined the Redlands Camera Club a little over a year ago.
I enjoy taking photos of land/seascapes, animals, nature, close-ups, and places. I find the most
creative satisfaction in taking two average images and making a better one (ex. The 49 Ford
Woody).
