Hi, I'm back! Returning to my original 2006 Flickr account.

I'm an architect living in Portland, Oregon, and I've fiddled with cameras and photography my entire life, with some extended breaks here and there.

My journey has taken me from a humble Keystone 125 Instamatic camera in the early 1970s, to manual 35mm SLR's in high school, to my first SLR the Olympus OM-1, to pro level gear in college and later. A lot of my shots are just "shots." But along the way I learned to compose, to use light, contrast, texture, juxtaposition and depth of field. And you know, as one of my mentor's once said, "Sometimes the magic works!"

I still shoot many Nikon and Fujifilm X. My current everyday camera is a 17-year old Nikon D3000 with a newer version of the 18-55mm VR II lens (super light and compact!). I also have a Nikon D60, D90 and D700 with a wide range of F-mount lenses (both AF and manual).

My Fujifilms are the X-T2 and X-Pro2 with a variety of X-mount lenses, including TTartisan manual focus lenses.

Feel free to leave comments!

I appreciate your time,

Byron
