About me.

I'm blessed in having two photographers for parents. Because of that, my childhood is heavily documented on film. Wanna know what I wore to my third day of kindergarten? I'm sure my mom could figure it out for you. My first camera was a hand-me-down from my mom; a point and shoot that took 110 film. In high school, I saved up enough money for a SLR, a Canon Rebel, which I beat into the ground. I took an art studio class in photography in college;I got a C- and hated every minute of. I also took two semesters of 16mm filmmaking and have two 16mm films that I would love to show you.

I prefer to work with film, but I'm lazy and don't have the access or the funds for such a venture. One of these days though. Bug me about it. And don't let me get pretentious about it.

I carry around a point-and-shoot digital camera (a Nikon Coolpix S610) everywhere I go. But my baby is a Nikon D80.
