I'm a casual, but enthusiastic photographer.

I got my start with disposable point-and-shoots as a kid, and moved on to digital cameras in high school. I had a lot of fun with photography in university, but I took a break from it for a few years after graduating.

These days I mostly use an Olympus 35 SP, with ISO 100 film. I don't develop my own negatives, but I do scan them myself with an Epson Perfection V850. Thank goodness for SilverFast's iSRD feature!

I'm 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, but I will occasionally heal stubborn dust using GIMP.

I'm still figuring out who I am as a photographer. While I like the idea of street photography, I'm really uncomfortable taking pictures of people.
