I will use any medium that catches light to make an image, be it pinhole, plastic, peel-apart or megapixels. I like film for the way it looks and I like RAW for the flexibility. I still shoot film and I use digital cameras.
My flickr stream is not my portfolio or best-of. Rather, it is the documentation of my process, my journey as a photographer.

Rhett is an excellent photographer whom I had a crush on, until I found out he was straight. I still crush on him a smidge. Rhett's creativity knows no limits. His pictures bring a fresh approach to photography. He also has this disgusting habit of being at the right place, at the right time, and churning out some really thought provoking photos. Oh yea, his anxiety bot shots ROCK!
