This was me at age six.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I began my career working as an industrial photographer for a few aerospace companies. I created images both for documentation purposes and more creative aspects of visualizing a process or product. I have also done freelance commercial photography for advertising and catalog work.<\/p>\n<p>I have a passion for print layout and design which sprung from its connection to printing my photographic work.&nbsp; I learned to combine my photography and computer publishing skills when I was employed as an in-house newsletter and publications one-man-team for a non-profit organization. Here I designed the monthly newsletters and other printed publications which included interviewing, writing, photographic work, computer publication design for print. I also began to get into website design at this time, which eventually moved me into the design of website interfaces in future jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Working closely with web programmers while doing the web interface design led me into learning to program and work with databases myself. This sent me on to become a proficient web application designer and programmer.<\/p>\n<p>But my love for the visual and story telling end of things led me back toward the creative visual and written forms and away from programming. I began to use my knowledge of photography and enjoyment of computers to learn 3d modeling and rendering. I also took up writing again, this time in the form of fiction writing and story telling, which was a change from my more editorial experiences of the past.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy some of the things I post here on this blog site.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Glenn Frank is a new author and life-long fan of science fiction &amp; fantasy.
