I am a husband, father, musician, photographer, printer, and retro computing nerd.

 

I started in photography as a child toting my dad's Nikkormat camera around. One Christmas, my parents gave me a Kodak Disc. After high school, I rediscovered photography with a used Vivitar V-335 SLR and a handful of Fuji film from the Walgreen's pharmacy down the road.

 

My current photo equipment lineup includes:

• Mamiya C330 6x6cm TLR

• Mamiya RB67 6x7cm SLR

• Nikon FM and Nikkormat FTn 35mm SLRs

• Pentax ZX-50 35mm SLR

• Shepherd DM-170 incident/reflected light meter

• Giotto's MT9170 tripod with MH1001 ballhead (strong enough to hold up that RB67 mentioned above)

• Beseler 23CII enlarger (the blue model)

• Epson Perfection V600 flatbed scanner

• Macintosh computers with Adobe Photoshop CS3

• Bags of film - primarily Ilford B&W, Fuji color slide/transparency, and Kodak Vision3 color negative

• Many shelves of accessories - cable releases, filters, loupes, trays, tanks, reels, etc.

 

I operate the following flickr groups:

Cibola National Forest, Sandia Ranger District

Mamiya Love (FILM ONLY)

 

I've also am starting into digital astrophotography. I probably won't post much of that, however, since I live in a Bortle 8/9 zone, have a neighbor with a bright floodlight that invades my backyard, and have lots of obstacles (houses and trees) that interfere with my view of the sky.
