I'm a Canadian exploring and living in Asia, since 2006. I've called Bangalore and Tokyo my home, and currently live in Bangkok. Everything here is essentially a document of these times.

 

Early images were taken with a Canon SD450...the beginnings of a weak-kneed step into digital photography, after being insufferably doctrinaire about Nikon FEs, AI lenses, and Fuji Velvia. Currently, I lug around the following:

 

Nikon D4

Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 G

Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 G

Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G VRII

Nikkor AF-S 35mm f/1.4 G

Nikkor AF-S 85mm f/1.4 G

Fuji X-Pro 1

Fujinon XF 18mm f/2

Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4

 

Now and again, I'll continue to shoot film, though none of the films I used to love the most are available anymore, and when the mood strikes I might have some of this in my hand:

 

Nikon F5, FE or Nikon FE2

Nikkor Ai 28mm f/2

Nikkor Ai-S 35mm f/1.4

Nikkor Ai-S 50mm f/1.2

Nikkor Ai 105mm f/2.5

Ilford Delta 100 / 400

 

My workflow is built around Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac and Lightroom 4, with a few assorted Nik, Alien Skin, Imagenomic, and Topaz plug-ins.
