Had a real film darkroom in "pre-digiital" days, therefore well-versed in all aspects of photography and familiar with "dodging/burning" using and functioning of an actual negative enlarger

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Approximately 5 Years ago I chose to not "manipulate"/distort/filter/alter images through artificial computer techniques and simple mouse manipulation.

I would rather be proficient in capturing images "in camera" using all available light, skills/lenses/filters, techniques, and changing locations, rather than sit in front of a computer screen and "create" an image, through clicking a mouse, that was not present at the time of actual shutter release. I DO apply watermarks and, when absolutely necessary, make minimal adjustments with Photoshop.

(As I do shoot in "RAW" basic adjustments such as brightness/sharpness/white balance, IS utilized in Lightroom)

Computer Tools:

Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop CS5
