 Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Lee Morgan began learning photography skills at the age of six. His father, a surgeon, was also a skilled photographer and gave Lee his first camera at that time. As a child, Lee liked to photograph trains and watch his father process and print Black & White prints in their home darkroom, and, as he grew older, Lee took pictures of all his activities. He read many publications on photography, and tried different ideas, constantly adding to his growing skills and knowledge as a photographer. Through many years of experience, he developed his skill at photo composition -- one of the MOST IMPORTANT aspects in the business of photography. This ability allows Lee to visualize what image he wants to create before he actually arrives at the site, knowing where to position the airplane to set up for the view he wants to create.Lee attended New Mexico State University and the University of New Mexico, with studies in three major fields -- Electrical Engineering, Biology pre-Med, and Business. During his early years in college, he traveled extensively throughout the United States, during the summers, always taking photographs documenting his travels. He has visited all but two states in the continental United States. After two years of college directly after high school, Lee took a break and worked in a hospital, holding positions on an orthopedic, surgical, and neurological ward and the emergency room. Lee worked as an orderly, traction technician, and cystoscopy technician in the operating room. Later on he worked as a technician in a combination Intensive Care/Coronary Care Unit while he went back to school to continue his pursuit of medical school at UNM. While studying to attend medical school, Lee learned to fly an airplane, fulfilling one of his childhood dreams -- and was hooked. He earned his pilot's license in 1978. With an unending passion to utilize his flight skills for a business, and after diligent research, Lee recognized a specific need for aerial photographic services--and established Eagle's Eye Photo Imaging in October 1978. He selected the company name Eagle's Eye because the "eye of the eagle" has always been associated with clear, crisp, sharp vision. Lee married his wife, Debbie, in 1983, and they have four children -- Justin, Austin, Jennifer and Melanie. Lee received his Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) status in 1991 from the Professional Photographers Association, International, and received his Ae (Aerial certification) Qualification in 1989. He remains the only Photographer qualified in Aerial photography by PPA in the State of New Mexico. In February 1998, Lee received his Masters Certifiaction of Photography through the International organization of PAPA, (Professional Aerial Photogrpahers Association).
