Curt Firestone has been taking photos all of his life.  Back in the 1970s, he had access to a San Francisco Parks Department public darkroom where he learned to enlarge and print black and white photos.  It was there Curt started to learn about the wonders of light.  Due to personal and employment life changes, it was necessary to put photography on the back shelf to wait for the leisure time of retirement.  Retirement came and Curt decided to publicly show his images.  Acceptance and acknowledgement have come quickly.
