My name is John, I'm 46 yrs old, and I am pretty much an open book, one of my rules in life is" I am me... take me as I am or bugger off".

 

I work full time as a Store Manager, and I have a growing family to help take care of, and what (little) time I have left, I will take some Portraits of friends or family, or other things I like.

 

My Model Mayhem

I shoot with a FujiFilm system and my favoured lenses still tend to be the Primes (a hold out from my traditionalist phase where I shot with only full manual bodies & only primes), but I do own a couple of zooms, granted they are the faster 2.8.

 

Over the last couple years, I have been making a huge return to film, the Nikon F3 and Leica M5 are my go-to cameras for most of my portrait/wedding shoots. I will use digital if I have to, but film is my prefered medium.
