I'm a 35 year old big pee-pee head in Chicago, IL, working with IATSE Local 2 as a union stagehand.

 

I shot exclusively with Nikon equipment all the way up until May of 2015. Presently I shoot with a Sony A7R5 and have kept using my collection of Nikon lenses adapted to my Sony body via a Novoflex adapter.

 

Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 (Sony FE mount)

Sigma 24mm Art f/1.4 (Nikon mount)

Sigma 35mm Art f/1.4

Sony Ziess 55mm f/1.8

Nikon 85mm f/1.8 G

Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM

Sankor Type 5e Anamorphic (Can be adapted to Nikon 85mm 1.8G)

 

I edit all my RAW files in Abode Lightroom. My editing has evolved over the years of learning the software. I feel that I have become more heavy handed, and experimental, yet still leave a touch of realism. Railroad photography is all too stale at times not to retouch, and color grade.

 

Im a pretty easy guy to get along with as I'm sure my friends and family would say, so on that note, glad you decided to stop by and leave a comment or two!
