I'm going to be very lazy and paste my first journal entry here.
A little bit about me, I live in Vancouver (technically, I guess), BC. I always had a fascination and passion for photography when I was in high school. I started with B&W film with a nice old Nikon F1, even had a darkroom and all the fixin's. After high school it became harder to afford photography (being poor and freshmanlike). So, with little money and a few unfortunate events I stopped all together.
I got back into photography when I recently switched to digital and am now the proud owner of a Canon 450D/XSi! Why switch from Nikon to Canon? No reason, the Canon was on a really great Boxing Day sale and I'm still poor! What can I say about going digital? Yes, I sometimes miss the claustrophobic bathroom/makeshift darkroom with the pleasant (yet non-addictive) vinegar fumes. But, digital is just so damn convenient and the results are spectacular!
What do I shoot? Right now, just about everything. I do a lot of street photography, nature photography, landscapes, waterscapes, skyscapes, some architecture and am now trying my hand at portraits.
I try to bring my camera everywhere with me because you never know when you run into a moment you just have to capture. I prefer to shoot in monochrome, but I'm not a purist. If an image's impact looks better in colour, then it gets developed in colour.
So, that's pretty much it in a big nutshell. If you happen to be reading this I'll try my best to do updates (if not to my gallery then to the journal), but no promises! Drop me a line if you like I'm always ready to talk shop.
