Me

Usually I like to be behind the camera, but a few people have pointed out that there aren't any photos of me on my website. My friend Kelly came by the studio and helped me take these photos. I think I'll stay behind the camera but these turned out well

I usually don't have lights in  my pictures much less bare strobes, but the picture felt like it needed something different. The smaller camera with the silver on it is my dad's old Canon AT-1. As a kid I was always interested and amazed by this camera.
 This Mamiya is extremely heavy. It's a 6x7 medium format film camera. It's a lot of fun to shoot, but it takes practice to get right. I usually only shoot black and white in it.

 Another shot with some softboxes. This setup is how I shoot a lot of my pictures. I like how the lights distinguished the subject from the background.
 I have to do one funny picture.
Thanks to Kelly for taking some cool pictures.
