Most people I've met know me as a news media consultant and former postgraduate instructor in New Media Management for the news industry, but few know that my undergraduate work was in professional photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology (upriver from Kodak).
Most of my work was in 35mm film (or now its digital equivalent), though some of my work is in 4x5-inch or 110mm negatives. I currently use Sony A99ii and A77 cameras, plus a GoPro 5 and the camera in my Samsung Galxy 21 Extra phone. I still have my Cambo 4x5-inch view camera (I wish I could afford a digital back for it), a Konica-Minolta XD-11 digital camera, a rare Minolta Maxxum/Dynaxx 9 professional 35mm film camera, an even rarer (1974) Minolta XK professional 35mm camera, a Canon A9 digital camera, two Minolta SRT-101 film cameras, and a Samsung 360 digital camera. I also own my great-grandfather's Kodak Brownie belows camera.
Many of the photos I'm uploading are old. I've noticed that my slides and negatives from 1967 through about 1992 have begun to fade (except for Kodachrome!), so I've been digitizing these first.
I use a Canon FS4000 (dpi) scanner for my 35mm negatives and slides and a HP Scanjet 5370C (1200dpi) for my 120mm and 4x5 inch negatives. Both utilize Vuescan. I then process everything through PhotoShop CS2 and print on a Canon i9900.
I don't miss the mess of B&W, C-41, and wetcolor printing or Cibrachrome processes. However, I hope that I someday find an inkjet printer capable of replicating the quality wet B&W printing or Cibachromes.
