Well, I have been a photographer from birth (born with a chrome SRT in my mouth). I only really seriously picked up a camera about thirteen years ago. I have been hooked ever since. I have numerous cameras, varying in format and age and operational condition, but I am a 35mm man. My weapon of choice is my Minolta XG-M of which I have two working bodies and a third for parts, a winder, three fixed focal length lenses (28, 50 (twice) and a 400), two zooms which do the lion's share of the work (28-70, 70-210), two tele converters, tripod, cable and air release, filters, adapter rings and so on and so forth.
As to my particular brand of photogrpahy, I have always taken what interested me. Landscapes, weddings, astronomy (with litttle success), flora, the usual smattering. About five years ago I really came seriuos. I joined my mother's wedding photography business A Moment In Time in Milford, Delaware and helped for about two years. During this time I enrolled with the NYIP. The I got married in 04, read Ansel Adams' series the Camera, Negative and Print and never looked back. Now I am working on a few things. Trying to document my hometown of Milton, De. in images. Working in B&W mostly, including a love/hate relationship I have held for a couple of years now with contrasty imagery ala Edward Weston, shapes and lines with great exposure range between the highlights and shadows. I am going crazy and wish I had done this before. i love photogrpahy. I have taught myself a lot on the technical side to go with my eye. I am always looking to learn more and I am willing to go above and beyond to answer what I can.
In two years I would like to be developing my own B&W and in a couple mroe years after that I want to have my own Darkroom up and running. Feel free to contact me and you will hear from me from time to time. CLICK!
