about
After earning a Bachelors in Mathematics and a Masters in CompSci, Frank Mercado was for 40+ years a software engineer and engineering manager in the defense industry. During his working career he pursued photography as an avocation by building a darkroom in his home, taking community college classes, reading books, going to galleries, and collecting fine art prints. After retiring from industry, Frank enrolled at the University of Colorado Denver, and graduated in 2016 Summa Cum Laude with a BFA with an emphasis in Photography. Raised in an era that prized Fine Art photography as defined by Ansel Adams, Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and the other early 20th century Modernist masters, Frank now pursues Fine Art photography in their timeless tradition.
