I'm a dad and amateur photographer from Denver, Colorado.

Started out with film photography in high school because there were no digital cameras yet.

Lost the habit. Used a point and shoot digital or phone for decades.

Picked up a crop sensor Canon in 2020. Then a Sony RX1, then an A7Rii. Started adapting vintage glass. Found the Pentax K1000 my dad gave me for my B-day in '92. Got back into film again. Now the Sony is mostly used on a copy stand scanning negatives.

Favorite gear:

Pentax K1000 with 43 and 77mm limited lens

Minolta XG-SE with MC 58mm f/1.2, MD 35-70, and MD 105 f/2.5

Olympus XA. I like to dual wield a pair of these, one in each of my pant pockets. Tri-X at 800 in one and some kind of color in the one w/o.

Lomography Sprocket Rocket

Fuji GW690

Sony A7Rii with Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2, Samyang 85mm f/1.4, 24 GM, Laowa 15mm f/2, Laowa 105 2X macro, Canon 135 f/2 L and other adapted vintage glass

Favorite things to stand in front of with a camera:
