With the advent of digital photography, Ken has rediscovered his original passion. He notes his appreciation for "the software now available to process images in a way that gives
the photographer so much more control
over 'the look' of the final photograph"

Not content to rest on his laurels,
Ken continues to seek more artistic ways
to photograph subjects that interest him
