LUCIEN KNUTESON

LUCIEN KNUTESON (LOO’-SHEN KUH-NOOT’-SUN)

I grew up in Wisconsin, where I spent my youth riding my bike, playing in trees, and taking pictures.  I still enjoy all these things, though I admit I'm spending less time in trees these days.  My turn-ons include good people, beautiful light, cloudy skies, terrible puns, and rollerskating.  Turn-offs include coffee-flavored Jelly Bellies.

Also, and I only mention it because I'm sometimes asked, "Lucien" is a French name (and I'm not at all French) from the Latin word "lux", which means "light".  That's quite a coincidence, as I'm sure my parents, careful though they are to plan ahead, could not be certain I would choose to pursue photography.
