Film is not dead after all. Who knew?
After a little bit of drama that can be a part of ebay/craigslist transactions, I now have my first SLR camera (notice the missing D). A few of my favorite photographers in the world only shoot film so I decided to try my hand and picked up a Nikon F100. The first thing I noticed was how it totally has changed my approach to the process of taking photos. No longer do I fire off 10 pics in a row and choose the best one or not worry if a photo is a little over or under exposed. Instead, shooting film forces me to choose very carefully the photos I take with no instant gratification due to not having the LCD screen. Each shot also costs me money for film and developing. I have to say that there is a learning curve especially not having too much control over white balance and ISO on the fly. I also still find myself constantly checking the back of the camera after each shot out of habit. In all I'm very excited about the new venture and the different quality of photos that film offers. Below is the very first photo I've taken with my F100 with no editing other than desaturation. This could get seriously addicting. Dang you Leo and Jonathan! :)

My Sweetie
I met her in the periodicals section of the library over 6 years ago and my life ever since then is better 100 fold.
Plus, I mean seriously, who looks this good with no make up? :)
Happy V-Day everyone!

My BIG interview...
I was recently interviewed by a photographer by the name of Ivan Makarov. He is an incredible landscape photographer so if your ever in the market for something to hang in your home or office I highly recommend buying a print of his.
It was a lot of fun to put to words random thoughts I've been having about the craft and how I think. I'll let you be the judge if it's a worthwhile read. :)
Here is the link to my interview in it's entirety.

Even more Amber
Like I've said before, there are a lot of photos from this shoot that I love. It would be unethical of me to keep them all to myself without sharing. :)

Amber...again
Another older photo that I decided to go back and revamp. It was taken in a secret upper room at Skateworld (Hillsboro, Oregon) that has been frozen in time at about 1977. This was a nod to a personal favorite photographer of mine: Aaron Ruell.

If we let photographers take photos, the terrorists win!
I thought I'd pass along this little snippet because: 1. It's really funny 2. I've been harassed by police officers for taking photos of things that I was within my legal rights to take photos of. 3. It's Stephen T. Colbert.
