Joseph's Story

Life Hello to all you cowboys and cowgirls... After graduation and realizing how many classes I blew off, I took some make up classes at Cass Tech to get into college where I Studied machine design. When we were in high school and Mr Battistone gave us an aptitude test, with my results showing that I was artistic. I remember telling him I thought the test was a bunch of :( to which he replied; Joseph someday this will show up in your life. My first aptitude was my artistic ability and second was mechanical... So, I went to a small local school and became a tool designer. After several years of working as a machine designer and doing photography as a second income, I became so frustrated doing such boring work that I said my prayer of agony..."O Lord there has to be something else in life besides just making money..." The following week, I responded to an add for a photographer at JL Hudsons downtown Detroit and got hired and I loved it. However the money was not enough ...Expand for more
to keep us in daily necessities, so I left to start my own studio and now have been self employed ever since. I have my dream studio where I photograph:people, places and things. The studio is in Dearborn Hgts on Warren Street just east of Beech Daly. In addition I have an art exhibit that travels around the country and the title of the exhibit is called "From The Light" People ask me when I will retire? To which I reply, "to do what? I have been and continue to do what has always been my passion... Still married to Gail Fugate, we have a son Paul who is also a photographer. See his lovely web site at PaulKubek.com. Our daughter Anne is a Vice president at Borders Books and Music and works out of Ann Arbor but travels the world. Joe AKA joe flash bulb :) Workplace For the last 36 years I have been owning and operating a photography studio doing mainly people, some places and things to a retail market. I also restore old photographs and consider myself a family historian
