Former newspaper reporter-photographer and relic of the Gernsback continuum. I own many, many cameras in various states of repair. I shoot most often with an Agat 18K half-frame, Minolta SRT-101 fitted with a 50 mm 1.4, or a Kiev 6C. Also very fond of my Lubitel 2 and Yashica 635. The oldest camera I use regularly is a 1907 Kodak Brownie. I have a couple of large format cameras - a Crown Graphic and a Calumet Rail camera - but I have yet to smoothly master their use!
I develop with a tank and D76 in my kitchen sink. Have yet to make the leap to colour processing at home.
I'm in it for the fun of the hobby and the occasional bit of beauty that shows up. My photography is haphazard. I like getting into odd places and recording them - I attend a lot of fannish conventions just for the sake of getting photos of people in costume. And, if I see a protest or a rally I try to get right into the middle of things - a holdover from my days as a roving reporter.
When one thinks of spring, the first image that comes to mind is a field of multi-colored flowers. We're turning this vision around with this little challenge!
