I live in New England and like to take nature shots, then play with effects to make them surreal. I use a Pentax Optio 750, which serves my purpose to gather raw material, though I'd like something with clearer lens for distance shots. I've been a writer, electronic musician, and now a photo artist. Digital photo has been a great mode of expression for me; because now I can be a visual artist, without needing to draw (which I can't do well). I think it's cool for artists to pool work together and do novel synthesizing.
