Even before attending my first tradeshow or knowing they even existed was the desire to learn; and only when going to libraries to search out any available information on photography proved useless to me did I then set out to Create a Knowledge Base from scratch.

As I am legally blind there was information that books just were not including from those within the professional realm of photography; information that I would need if I was going to be able to succeed at all.

I needed to know what F-stop to use, what Shutter Speed to use, under what lighting conditions might exist, for what kind and brand of film to be used, what millimeter of lens would be used for the shot and how far would the camera would be from the subject. There would be more variables that I would later add such as if a filter was used or if an external flash device was used. In no book was I ever able to find all of these varibles presened in a single table. The Key Variable that I would not be able to collect until much later was the Exposure Value found through the use of a Light Meter. From this one value I would be able to dangle all the rest of the data collected and where it could become more of a science and less of guess work.
