About Me
I don't think anyone finds it easy to talk about or to describe themselves. I think it's just that more difficult when you're asked to talk about your work experience. In photography the work is visual and subjective. If someone has studied the medium I find that the person usually finds a deeper meaning in whatever they are viewing.
I rarely read About Me pages because they are either laid back humble or they're inflated braggery leaving out the part about the day-job. Sometimes they're informative as they should be, but basically, basic.
This is my website where I let my creativity run wild. I shoot and post what I like, and not necessarily what I think my visitors might like. Perfection doesn't interest me. Don't get me wrong, when I shoot, and develop my film, I am on Photoshop cropping images, and eliminating dust, but I shoot the image that I want in-camera; it's not the by-product of a digital wash.
This site is a film photography and toy camera (Holga anyone?) website. I learned photography in manual mode and on film. I still feel the ever present mix of excitement, and or fear while working in total darkness producing negatives and images.
I still have to explain what Lomography is... with my web address and a wink; which by the way is what I think defines Lomography.
