Author, Journalist, Photographer, part-time traveller.

Photography has been a hobby since 1981.

I despise people who wantonly toss around the title "professional," which is overused these days.

I'm a hobbyist who has now and again earned a side income from photography.

I've held hundreds of cameras.

Some say I have GAS.

My surviving gear (I'm not buying anymore, I promise!)

SLRs: Nikon F3, Canon AE1P, Canon A1, Canon New F1, Canon EOS 1V

Medium Format: Hasselblad 500CM w/ 80mm f2.8
