====================================

ok, here's the schpiel: I am a guy who likes to take pictures. Lots of them. Usually they don't work. Sometimes they do.

Though I've always been known for snapping endless point-n-click candids in high school & early university, it wasn't until I took a nine-day trip overseas in fall 2003 and fired off the equivalent of 20 x 24-frame rolls with a 35mm analog SLR that things changed. I was bitten by both the travel and the camera bugs.

Lately my 'fun' photography has been moving back in the direction of film shooting, while my dSLR focus is gravitating towards doing event, editorial, and journalism photography. I like shooting film. It forces you to compose, to control your impulses, to be selective about the shot, and most importantly pay attention to getting it right the first time.

I'm not a fan of "the usual". My main thoughts with camera-in-hand are "How can I capture this in a way that's different?" and "What do I see?

Generally I don't "plan" pictures ahead. My technique is organic - take what is there and work with it. Most frames are simply something captured in the moment when I happened to be standing (or sitting) there.

Self taught through experimentation. Always learning. Wanting to push my horizons.

Please, add comments and critiques! I like the feedback. Tell me what you think. If no one tells me what is or is not 'good' with what I post... how can I learn?

Thanks for visiting,
