i'm a musician, performer, and recovering academic (art history) who likes to take photos. i love art deco, gothic, romanesque, musician/celebrity portraits, classic cars, birds, surrealism, cemeteries, trees and the mountains where i live. i don't love celery.

i never gave up on film. my stream includes new shots as well as negative scans spanning the past 15 years.

i use toy cams, crap cams, lomo types, point-and-shoot, nothing professional. everything cheap or entry-level. 120, 220, 110, 135, and instant film.

in keeping with the spirit of Lo-fi photography, there are no faux photoshop treatments added to my film photography. the cross-processing is real, and the contrast/colors/tones rendered have not been edited or altered. what would be the fun in that?
