About Me

I have owned an SLR camera for over 15 years beginning with a Minolta Dynax 500si, a film camera for those not familiar with these things. I was working in Switzerland during the summer and found that my little point and press camera couldn't really do justice to the Swiss Alps. My parents were asking what I would like for a 21st birthday present and so I got my first SLR.

I hope to revisit the film images taken over more than 10 years with that camera, and scan some of the negatives for display here, if I can find them.

A few years ago I finally went digital and bought a Nikon D70s. Most of the pictures you see on this site were taken with that camera, or with the D300 I later replaced it with. Whilst film still has some advantages over digital, for me the convenience of digital is a clear winner. Being able to "change films" midway, review the shot instantly and edit the image on my own computer (or on a laptop out in the field) outweigh any benefits I gain from film.

I've added a few links to websites that I have found helpful or interesting and there is a contact page if you'd like to drop me a line about anything.

I hope you enjoy my pictures.
