ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Dan Voellinger
Dan Voellinger grew up in Rochester, New York, and began exploring photography with a handmade pinhole camera and Polaroid film. He worked for Eastman Kodak, where he received free film and development. "The experience of using film cameras through the years gave me a greater understanding of planning and composing a shot since you didn't want to waste any film or incur the cost of developing bad shots."
Voellinger has worked for the Navy for over thirty-five years and has travelled the world with his camera in hand. Since moving to Florida, he’s had the chance to meet and learn from many experienced photographers. He loves to learn new things and ways to produce images that people will treasure.
