About the Photographer

Charles M. (Chuck) Lampman
Retired Naval officer, foundation manager
Kennesaw, Georgia, USA

I've been a "serious amateur" for 58 of my 71 years, working in a small town photo studio through high school, and earning my spending money with my camera in college. Stationed in Japan in the 60s I thrilled to the precision of Nikon optics (all of which I still have), and since the 80s have combined photography with scuba diving, my other passion.
Since retiring from my second career as a non-profit foundation manager in 2004, I've been traveling and shooting pictures. Only in 2006 I discovered the thrill of being able to capture the whole scene- front, back and all around. I have a lot to learn, but I'm having a great time doing it.
Two of my panos are from the area of Kutaisi in the center of the country of Georgia; I travel there frequently in my role as a director for Georgia to Georgia, Inc., a Georgia, USA based charity that helps educate Georgian children orphaned by the civil war, and which since the fall of 2008 has been providing humanitarian assistance to people displaced from their homes by the Russian-Georgian conflict in August, 2008.
