Photography and I.

Having been a photographer since about 1996 I have gone through lots of phases and periods of wanting to achieve different things. I am not sure I will ever grow up as a photographer, but I have fun, and that's what matters.

My equipment, if of interest:

35mm:

- Yashica T5

- Leica M2 / Voigtlander Nokton 35mm 1.4 / Leica Summitar 50mm 2.0 / Leica Elmar 90mm 4.0

- Canon EOS3 / Canon 85mm 1.8 / Pentax 55mm 1.8 / 35mm 2.0 / 100mm 2.8

Medium format:

- Hasselblad 500C + 2 x 500C/M / 50mm Distagon / 80mm Planar / 150mm Sonnar / 250mm Sonnar

- Vermeer 6x9 pinhole camera

- Rolleiflex with Tessar 3.5

Films:

120 - Ilford HP5 / Kentmere 400 with PMK Pyro or ADOX FX-39 (and a few rolls of Foma 400 for fun)

35mm - Ilford HP5, Kodak Tri-X, Foma 400, Foma 200

Paper (when I printed in a darkroom):

Ilford MGIV matte fiber - Ethol LPD replenished

Ilford MGIV warmtone semimatte fiber - Ethol LPD replenished or Arista Lith for lith prints

Moersch MT3 thiourea toner, Kodak rapid selenium toner

Variety of vintage paper in lith developers as well

Mostly, due to space constraints in my current living situation, I scan using an Epson V700, Silverfast, and do minimal post processing in Photoshop Creative Suite.

Thanks for visiting, looking, and poking around! Happy shooting!
