I am an avid film and darkroom user. I learned to develop and print when I was thirteen and enjoy the extra investment in the art.

Can I tell the difference between film and digital? Yes, no - maybe? I don't really care, it is the journey I enjoy most. Striving for a perfect neg and a perfect print...

I enjoy using all the older cameras that I lusted after as a teenager but my mainstays are the Mamiya 7, Bronica SQA, Leica M4 & M3, Leica R8 and Olympus OM2.

I am drawn towards documentary / street photography and the 'split second' in history that it records. I always travel with a camera.
