I’ve been passionate about photography ever since I borrowed my Mom’s Minolta XG-7 for a middle school photography class way back in the olden days of 1996. After a brief time with a DSLR, I came back to film photography, and is what I primarily shoot, though the occasional DSLR or iPhone shot does make an appearance in my portfolio.
Beyond that I’m an avid a car guy who enjoys the strange and the quirky and has a great appreciation different engineering solutions as they appeared in different manufacturers thorough out history.
This engineering interest extends to old computers as well. When not fixing a car, many times I can be found working on and using computers from the 1980’s.
Beyond that, I engage in a large range of creative pursuits, of which this blog is but one example. Other places to find me which are not strictly photography related:
