I'm just a rather typical middle-aged engineer-type living in Los Angeles hacking his way through life.

*shrugs*

Is that so bad?

I've loved photography since receiving a Minolta X-700 before I left for college (thanks Mom and Dad!), although my first experiences were with my Mom's Kodak Brownie 120, a pinhole camera made with electrical tape, and some sort of Kodak 110 (ew, at least it wasn't a disc camera).
