Bio| Wow. We figured out a way to make me have nothing to say. Yay for firsts. Hrmmmity... 26 years old. Married. Advertising and general gophering at a real estate office. Majored in Marketing with a specialization in Graphic Design Communications at the local community college. Weird kid. Bored. Go. As for photography, it's the vision that matters, right? Haha, then I could quit buying lenses. But seriously, the bad pictures I have seen are not bad because of the gear and the great ones are not great because of the gear. A bird sitting in a tree will always bore the crap out of me, no matter how sharp. That's the short, straight road to where I'm trying to go. This picture technically sucks by today's stardards of digital grainlessness and autofocus perfection. The camera it was taken with was seven years old and had a simple 35mm lens. It was a legendary Summicron 35mm, but it was still a simple prime. No state-of-the-art equipement, no L series zoom - just a prime lens and a fully manual camera with no light meter. It changed the world. I do landscape photography because the world is beautiful. I do street photography because people can be ugly. I get much more attention for the landscape work. Cows Are Love |
