Title
Bytesmiths: Welcome!
Description
I'm Jan Steinman, doing business as Bytesmiths. I've been involved with photography for about 40 years. My father George shot weddings and baby pictures as a second income, and I was "helping" him in the darkroom as soon as I was tall enough to get my hands in the chemicals.
My involvement deepened as I grew older. I served as photographer and editor of my high school and community college publications, attending Monroe County Community College (Michigan) on a full journalism scholarship.
I also had an interest in electronics, fiddling around with radios as a child and getting a ham radio license as a teen-ager. After high school, I applied for two summer jobs: one as a photographer's assistant at the local newspaper, the other as an electronics technician trainee at a local communications shop.
