I started out in photography taking a black and white course in high school. After some scheduling errors my senior year, I ended up taking it again. While I was taking CS courses at CCC I ran into my high school photo teacher who said he'd be teaching an intro black and white course there. I signed up, refreshed myself on camera and darkroom basics, and I've been toying with cameras ever since. I'm still rocking the Rebel T2i for digital stuff and I've got a number of film cameras. Pentax K1000, Nikon FM2, Canonet 28, and Mint's Instantflex TL70. I prefer the simplicity of shooting film cameras but I have no problems shooting digital when I need to. I'd like to get into some medium format like the Yashica Mat 124g, waist level 6x6. I'd like something that's a much different experience from digital or 35mm.
