I love to draw and take pictures of people. I do mostly street phtography and portraiture, but sometimes I do model shots. I got heavy into photography in 200 when I got a Canon. After that I got a Canon G2 Powershot digital and some older equipment like a 1962 Olympus etc., which I really love using. At the time, I was living in Yokohama, Japan. I walked around Tokyo taking pictures of people and was happily surprised when no one complained. It is not nearly as exciting taking pictures in Seattle simply because it does not have the density that Tokyo has. I find it more challenging to get good shots here; it's a nice challenge for me.
