I am a recent college graduate until recently was an army reservist, who is almost a bit too proud about being from New Hampshire (who's motto is "Live Free Or Die.") and embrace my geekiness wholly. I love scrabble, and even play online. I am social, though. I have always been interested in photography, but had a very positive experience my last semester of college that reinvigorated my interest to a new level. I aspire to take timeless photos that I can be proud of; pretty lofty goal, as I am my own harshest critic. I've used several point and shoot 35mm and digital cameras over the years, a bottom line 35mm Canon SLR that got the job done, and mostly currently use a Nikon D50, but I most enjoy using my Minolta Autocord TLR (that I relieved my father of...) I really enjoy the chemical process, and feel more confident about my work with black and white photography. I hope to see and learn lots here on flickr!
