Kevin Mullet works a day job doing IT work at a major Airline, but he's been an ardent photographer for over thirty years.
Kevin learned how to process film cracking open the Verichrome Pan B&W 126 cartridges he shot in high school in Galveston, TX, with his mother's Kodak Instamatic. Over the course of many hours in the school's photo club darkroom and through part-time jobs as a portrait studio apprentice and public-affairs photographer for Sea-Arama Marine world, he developed a love for photography that would never leave him.
As soon as he was old enough, he enlisted in the US Navy, was trained as a Navy Photographer and practiced numerous kinds of official as well as personal photography in Philadelphia and the Mediterranean.
It was during this time that he developed an interest in computers that grew to a full-time career in IT for the next twenty years. The more he worked with computers, though, the more he felt drawn back to photography. In 2002, Kevin started Bell Avenue Studio and did portraiture and wedding photography. It was during this time that he found he was drawn to organic, rather than commercial style, and film rather than digital capture.
For now, Kevin spends his days back in the cubicle, doing photography when and where he can, spreading the joy of souping film and prints to photographers he meets along the way. One day, he'll teach and do photography full-time. If you pass him on the street and he's got those black Amidol finger nails, you'll know that day has arrived.
Kevin lives in Denton, Texas with his wife Dianna, children Alec (future scientist and chef) and Harper (professional live wire).
