Profile
I am from the old school, meaning I grew up with pinhole cameras and Film SLRs, before they put the autofocus on the lens. I like to experiment with new angles and perspectives. It is interesting to see a skyscraper juxtaposed against a interesting ground painting, or perspective down the traintracks to infinity. I like using the old light meters, they still are much more accurate than my computerized autofocus lens….and I think I get much better results because of them. I do display my work at local venues, but I would always love to put my work up in a nice gallery someday.
