Participating Artists - Howard Stateman

Howard Stateman sold his first photograph at 14 to a weekly newspaper in Seattle, WA. After graduating high school he was invited back to teach photography for the month before college and worked as a photojournalist at the University of Washington and newspapers in Oregon and Washington before continuing his photography career as a US Peace Corps volunteer in Bangkok and Haad Yai, Thailand. After another short stint in newspapers and as head of the A/V department for a vocational school, Howard went back to school and learned to chase electrons. He has been a computer demolition expert since 1979, which pays for his photography habit. He has been a sci-fi fan from age 6, but did not discover fandom until Silicon I in 1980-something. His photos have been displayed at Baycon, Silicon and NASA's Contact Conference.
