Photography

The first time I picked up a camera, I did it more or less out of boredom. The year was 1995, and I was just about to graduate from high school. I borrowed a relative's old Kodak Instamatic camera and started snapping pictures of people I hung out with from school. Over that summer, one camera or another (or sometimes more than one) was my constant companion. I took pictures of friends, acquaintances, outdoor scenes - anything I could find that I thought might make a halfway decent photograph. Since then, I've pursued the hobby off and on, and have added poetry readings, softball games, open mics, outdoor events, and live performances to my photographic résumé. This area of the site samples some of what I've done over the last sixteen years, covering the period from 1995 to present. Many photos were taken on various film stocks and/or cameras, and some are representative of styles or genres of photography that I no longer or only rarely indulge in now. Feel free to give the collection a look.
