Albert M Kahan                         digital photographer

On August 6, 1945, two memorable events occurred; the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and I was born. I was raised in New York City, got a B.S. in Physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell University. I worked for DuPont doing research on the design and manufacture of photographic films of the type used by the printing industry to make printing plates. I am now retired and living in Alamosa, CO where I am the volunteer treasurer of the Alamosa Live Music Association.

I have been taking photographic slides of my travel all over the world since 1980. Many will eventually be scanned. In 2005,  I bought my first digital camera. Most of my current work is based on the digital photos.

My goal is to produce images which please me and, I hope, others. Sometimes, this means little adjustment to the image as in much of my landscape photography.  Sometimes, this means the original image is just a starting point for a lot of adjustments with realism taking a back seat to how the images look to me.
