I like to take pictures. I got into the hobby when I was in college and I took an intro photo class at Adirondack Community College. I grew up in Argyle, NY, went to Cornell, and now live in Troy, NY. Over this time period, I did a bunch of stuff. I found out the chief end of man (glorify God and enjoy him forever; however I still prefer the more Biblical summation of things; to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself). I bought my house in Troy. I met and married my lovely wife Nicole.

I primarily take my pictures with a Canon digital Rebel XT that I take the bulk of my shots with. I've also got a fairly extensive Minolta manual focus system that I get a lot of shots with as well and a Toshiba 3320 point and shoot digital. Here's the inventory: Canon digital Rebel XT, 50mm f1.8 MK 1, 18-55mm kit zoom, Sigma 24mm f1.8, and a Tamron 28-200mm zoom and the 580EX flash. On the manual focus side I've got a Minolta X-700 and XD-11, Minolta 58mm f1.2, 50mm f1.4 and 24mm f2.8 lenses, Vivitar 70-210mm f3.5, Kiron 28mm f2.0, and a Samyang 28-28mm f4-4.5. I use a Vivitar S1 dedicated flash mostly with the Minoltas.
