When he began his career in forensic photography, he was a beginner and the options for learning the craft were limited. In his case the on the job training consisted of watching, talking, asking, and mostly concentrating on the problems he was tasked. He quickly learned there were similarities in all projects and experience was a great teacher. He learned, one must have a passion for figuring out how to most accurately document evidence photographically. To be successful in this work, any other person must have that passion, too.
