Michael J. Norman was born in1971 and raised
in Paris, Ohio. He graduated from Minerva
High School in 1989 then went on to join the
Army in 1990. While active duty in the
Army, he completed his undergraduate degree
in 2003 in Information Technology. Michael
has had a passion for photography since he
was a child. He bought his first 35mm
Vivitar camera while in high school and has
taken photographs in 21 different countries
during his travels with the military. He
began his professional photography career
while studying for his master’s degree. For
his final project, he conducted an imaging
study with the algorithm programs for
digital cameras which reignited his passion
for photography and uncovered a way to merge
his IT skills with the desire to fulfill a
life long dream. Since then, he has done
several fashion and commercial projects to
include CC1827 and Top Local Model as well
as a multitude of commercial projects for
web media. He is currently preparing to
retire from the military in early 2010, at
which time he will open his second
photography studio to be located in
Louisville, Ohio where he resides with his
wife and 2 children.
A quote from Stephen Eastwood a Canon Print
master when asked about Photographers and
prices
"
A steamship breaks down
with 4 tons of perishable food that needs to
be delivered across the ocean and quickly!
They call a mechanic,
he shows up and say try it now, they try and
here clunk, thump, clunk, he listens and
says try again, they do and hear thunk,
thunk, clump, he walks to the back of the
engine room and reaches for a wrench and
squeezes in to a small area behind the
engine and tightens a nut and say try again,
and all hear the engine roar to a start.
The captain gets a bill for $1000.00 and is
outraged, he calls and insists on an
itemized bill. A week later he opens the new
bill, and sees.
