I'm a casual, but enthusiastic photographer.

I got my start with disposable point-and-shoots, and moved on to digital cameras around the time I graduated from high school. I had a lot of fun with my XTi during undergrad, but I took a break from photography during grad school, and have only recently gotten back into it.

These days I'm using a semi-functional Yashica Electro 35 GS, and an Olympus 35 SP (fully-functional). I don't presently develop my own film, but I do scan the negatives myself. Thank goodness for SilverFast's iSRD feature!

I'm generally not a big fan of post-processing photos, and prefer to keep the editing minimal, more so now that I'm shooting film. My usual workflow is straighten, crop, and lightly adjust the levels. I'm not overly concerned with imperfections, as I feel they add authenticity.
