Will Tenney grew up in Berkeley, California, and as a child of 7 was given a Kodak Brownie camera (see photo) by his father, San Francisco Bay Area photographer Thos Tenney. In high school his father gave Will an old Leica camera, and even though it scratched every frame on every roll, having a 35mm camera was a real breakthrough for him. It's been downhill ever since, having gone through Pentax cameras, Minoltas, Nikons, Canons, even a classic Mickey-Matic Instamatic -- but he has now gone completely digital, no longer keeping a darkroom.

Graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Graphic Design, Tenney entered the educational publishing industry as a book designer, a trade he maintained until 2009 by which time most of the educational materials design and production work he had been doing had been sent off-shore to India, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Over the years, Will Tenney has traveled many times to Europe and lived for a while in Trinidad. In the summer of 2006 he and his wife spent two weeks in southern Spain, resulting in some wonderful images and sounds. In 2000 he visited Cuba on a cultural exchange, and in 2002 spent two wonderful weeks in Tuscany and Cinque Terra in Italy. In the autumn of 2008, he joined with some friends hiking in Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyons. He has been to France many times, most recently in September and October, 2009 on a bicycle trip around the Dordogne in the southwest. He also biked through Italy's Piedmont hills in the fall of 2011. With family on the West Coast (California and Oregon), he tries to get there at least once a year.
