I am an architect living in Bath (UK) and have been obsessed with photography since learning to use the darkroom at college 30 years ago.
I am sort of bi-polar when it comes to equipment, I will be in love with my 35mm rangefinder for weeks (usually filled with lovely Kodak Tri-X). Then for a while film will be too much hassle and I transfer my affections to my Nikon D90.
But in the end I am trying to do very similar things with both mediums – simple compositions that capture the emotion and atmosphere of the moment.
