Russ has shown me that you don't have to have the most expensive camera to be good at photography or even to be 'cool' in camera circles. He makes some unusual cameras do interesting things.

Russ doesn't put up a large volume of photos, but each one is quite remarkable. Some conjure life out of inanimate objects, others convert the everyday into fantasy and then there are the ones that are delightfully silly. He is an all around great guy, a fine Portland flickroonie, and dare I say it, camera junkie ;-)
