Larey McDaniel

Larey McDaniel, Clarinetist with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra since 1961, (present position: Bass Clarinet) including tours to California, Florida, Alaska and Europe.

A member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, his fascination with photography began in fifth grade with a Kodak Brownie camera on a trip to Glacier National Park, continued in high school botany class projects and at Oberlin Conservatory of Music as (un)official photographer for touring music groups. A brief stint doing children's photos on location gave impetus for an interest in portraits and subsequent wedding photography. Another recent opportunity was architectural photography, working with an interior designer and a residential building contractor.

Other activities enjoyed are bicycling, backpacking, woodworking, and too many hours refining computer skills.

Photographs are taken with a Fuji, Canon, Olympus or Nikon Digital camera. Images are edited with Adobe Photoshop and printed on archival paper.
