Me and Photography
See my photos on FlickrMy fascination with photography I began 20 years ago when I received Polaroid OneStep for my birthday.
I played around a bit with a Nikon 5005 and learned more about how to actually control a camera.
I was given a Nikon Coolpix 950 and shot, shot, shot like mad, teaching myself composition without the burden of developing. That was the main reason I never got very far with the 5005, I couldn't afford the film and developing costs!
I got a 10D about three years ago and continued to learn. I bought a Elan7 online, acquired an old Mamiya MSX1000 and a Petri Rangefinder and did some more serious film work.
I'm still very much an amateur, but what drives me is a passion to make great images as well as capture moments with clarity and purpose.
I am inspired by the works of Ansel Adams (who isn't), Andreas Feininger, Monte Nagler, Sally Mann, Karsh, and many, many others old and contemporary.
