Tony Vogel
Tony Vogel began his interest in photography in the early 1960’s and fell in love with Kodachrome 25 well before Paul Simon ever thought about writing his song. In the 1980’s he became an active darkroom worker in both B&W and Color (Cibachrome) printing. The plunge into digital came more than 20 years ago for Tony and the magical power of processing RAW images makes him realize we truly are living the best days of photography today.
While Tony enjoys photographing a broad range of subjects, Landscapes have always held a soft spot in his heart. He is an avid traveler, having visited more than 40 countries but still enjoys exploring the splendor of the U.S. as well.
Tony has been a member of the St. Louis Camera Club for 35 years and more recently joined the Riviera Camera Club in Indianapolis. Tony lives in Noblesville and is a retired CEO.
