What follows is a summary of my geekery with photography…
I have been taking pictures since I was 9 years old. My first camera was a small, black, rectangular, fixed-focus Kodak Instamatic 608 which took 110 film. (Remember film? Remember 110? Crazy times.)
At summer camp when I was 11, I learned how to develop and print in black-and-white, with that little camera.
In 7th grade, I switched to an SLR, a Nikon FE2 (which I still have).
I spent a lot of junior high and high school in the darkroom. And in the years after that in classes and darkrooms at Santa Monica City College, Laney College, ASUC at Berkeley, U.C. Berkeley Extension, Looking Glass Photo in Berkeley, and RayKo in San Francisco.
In 2007, I switched to digital, eventually acquiring a small cadre of Nikon bodies and lenses and a Fuji to go along with that format.
In many ways, I miss the smells of the darkroom and simplicity of film. Still the flexibility and immediacy of digital make that my method of choice today.
My interest and emphasis has always been on natural light portraits.
You are beautiful.
Let me show you how I see you.
