I primarily shoot film with the Nikonos iii - an underwater film camera from 1975. I was lucky enough to buy this camera from a lady in Santa Barbara. She sold me the camera for $50, and I am incredibly stoked to own it! It took a little bit of trial and error to find success, but that is just part of the journey.

I've found that shooting film is extremely rewarding and seemingly more leisurely than shooting digital. It forces me to be more decisive, and leaves me without the option to look at the photo I just took, so after making an exposure I get to move on and hope for the best!

Building design and structural beauty catches my eye, and when I see something great I love to snap a shot. My dad and brother are both engineers, thus I must have some form of appreciation for all the nitty gritty design work that goes into structural design. Neat and clever architectural work is too often overlooked, so take a moment to enjoy the creativity that is manifested in physical structures.

I first fell in love with B & W when I studied the art of Black & White Film Photography in school with a great professor. After learning the basic camera functions we stepped into the dark room with all the chemicals. That class gave me the skills and knowledge to shoot and develop my own black and white photographs and was truly a greater impact on my life as a photographer and artist than I realized at the time.
