A native of San Diego, California, Norman has had a passion for photography since dinosaurs walked the earth (the 1970's). His primary interests are documentary and cultural photography, and the development of photo stories. His subject interests include Salem and North Shore people and events, our dwindling environmental resources, and the modern difficulties of under-represented peoples.
