He has led a wide variety of projects in industries as diverse as publishing, law, construction, and I.T. He studied operatic vocal production for several years and has played a wide variety of instruments badly. He had the good sense to fall in love with a research librarian and is the first to proclaim that he has the best kid on the planet (so don't get him started). He is constantly astonished at what can be done with a degree in Geophysics. (http://www.mlbuchman.com) THE SISTER: M.L. "Melitte" Buchman, MFA, a noted practitioner and teacher of tintype photography, has worked for decades leading digital archiving projects for such notable institutions as New York Public Library (NYPL) and New York University (NYU). In frequent demand as a conference speaker, it is the photographic process that motivates her to enter the darkroom and explore what is possible. Her choice of true love was an abstract painter who worked for decades behind the scenes in various NYC galleries and institutions. Between them, they continue to nurture many artists, especially themselves. (http://www.melittebuchman.com)
