In Paul’s sophomore year at Kearsarge Regional High School,  he took a course in black and white photography and had his first pictures published in a local newspaper that same year.
With the help of his father, a black and white darkroom was set up at home in New London and that summer, he bought his first 35 mm camera and photography has been apart of his life ever since.
