Okay, well, this isn't as easy as you might think it is or should be. I like photography--that part was easy. I collect cameras, owning somewhere north of 105 of the suckers now. This wasn't always the case but I stumbled across the Lomography Society International website one day and...and...and...fell in love. That day I owned 3 cameras, including one digital HP, a Canon T-50 I bought new when my wife was pregnant with our first child (he's now 23...) and an Olympus Stylus 115 Epic Zoom that was the family-workhorse/take on vacation and use Christmas morning camera.

Although I used to say that I shoot film and only film, I have used my digital camera in the recent past (latter half of 2007). Nonetheless, the local photo processors are always happy to see me.

I was born and reared in West Texas--Temple (birth) and Abilene (childhood thru high school), to be exact. I travel some in my work and always have a "sack o' cameras" in the car. I head off the highway every chance I get to go see smaller towns with all their charm and glory.
