Drag to set position!
I sew, I draw, and on occasion, I will take pictures - not like I used to, but every now and then I will.
I like old stuff. And parasols. You'll see lots of those here.

I now shoot with a Nikon D90. I upgraded in December of '09 from a D50. I started into digital photography with a point n' shoot Kodak DX750. Now that I've done digital, I've started getting into film and alternative processes.
I also shoot with these lenses:
AF-S Nikkor 55-200MM DX, 1.4-5.6: Big on zoom, but not a whole lot going on in the sharpness department, but it's absolutely lovely when used in manual mode - and gives some beautiful vignetting.
AF-S Nikkor 18-55MM DX 3.5-5.6: Before I bought my fiddy, this was my most oft used lens.
AF Nikkor 50MM 1:1.8 D: My newest and favorite lens. I love my fiddy.
I also have an SB-400 Speedlight Flash which I'm trying to get used to, but it's a learning curve. I do love what happens when the flash bounces the right way.
I have a few filters other than the usual UV and polarizers - I have yellow, red and sepia filters (a pair of cheap clip-on lenses for sunglasses.)
I also have a Kodak Duaflex III which I use for TTV effects.
I am now the proud owner of a brown and tan Kodak Beau Brownie No. 2 which I shoot 120 film on.

to find so much talent and spirit and soul and humor and intelligence and passion in someone so young -- well, it gives me hope, is what it does. brandon's enthusiasm for the past, and how it enhances our present, is nothing short of inspiring. he's also incredibly kind and funny and articulate and thoughtful and irrepressibly alive... and he's a damn fine photographer, to boot, knowing just how to hone in on the life hidden in an object's decay. he's pretty amazing, actually, and i want everyone to know it.

decrepit delephone is a treasure unearthed in the attic of flickr. his passion for history and architecture rekindle fires long extinguished by my professors in college. there are real lessons here and the photography that illustrates them is soulful and stunning. and as if that weren’t compelling enough, he’s got a great sense of humor! oh, and did I forget to tell you he’s the other kind of artist, too? he can draw really well, and god knows what else. you’d better relax, grab a sloe gin fizz, and take the next hour to fill yourself with every dimension of this beautiful, timeless stream.

D.phone is one my favourite flickr people. And I'm always curious to see his next post. His commentaries and descriptions of his photos are a constant source of insight. His knowledge of the Victorian era leaves me wondering if he's a time travel, in a sense, he is. There is a whole to learn and appreciate from his photostream, and a pleasure to browse through. He's someone I'm glad to have connected with, glad to have conversations with.
