Hello everyone,
My name's Anthony, 32, and I'm a British national of Oriental descent living in Switzerland - Zurich, to be precise. I own a pre-dot.com boom Internet services company, and my expertise is in software development and large-scale network design and administration. I aborted my physics studies to start the company at an early age, which means I haven't held down a real job in my life, and intend to keep it that way.
With more computers than I can shake a stick at at work, the last thing I need is a camera that's a computer.
I have been doing 35mm colour snaps for 15 years, and black-and-white photography for 5 years. I have also moved up from 35mm to medium format and 4x5 large format, and have almost completely stopped doing colour, though on occasion I do suddenly get an urge to waste an E6 film or two. I have a kitchen darkroom, though I usually proof my negatives with a scanner and only enlarge the "good" ones. This doesn't happen very often, as I'm not really very good at this photography lark. Perhaps you lot will help me improve, or at least make me feel inadequate and self-conscious about it.
Are the critiques here any good? I committed suicide on photo.net when all I got was trite "nice shot" comments.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Anthony
