He has been capturing images on silver halide and/or chromogenic dyes for over 40 years since he and his brother saved up enough money from their paper route to buy a used Nikon F. Bert uses several film formats, including 35mm, expanded 35mm (65x24mm), 120 (6x6 and 6x9), and large format (4x5, 8x10). Bert's photos have been published in a number of venues (see for example, here) as have his efforts in prose (e.g. here).﻿
