I dont see many introduction posts for new members but here i go.
hello all. im a motion graphics designer in my midish 20s. Ive been shooting for about 9 or 10 years on the film. All self taught, i didnt go to school because i thought it would be hard to get great work unless i was some prodigy. So i copped out and went into broadcasting, then specialized for post production, then got a job doing motion graphics and ive been doing that for a few years.
all this time ive been shooting 35mm. I havent dabbled much with medium format, though im playing with a yashica 44a running 35mm through that. Not sure if that counts. Anyways..
Im a fan of using old crappy cameras, usually ones that have broken features or are on the verge of needing a CLA. I find making some piece of junk make a nice image challenging and rewarding. However in my "lineup" if you want to call it that i have my trusty Leica IIIa screwmount, Nikon EM and FG-20 SLRs, and a couple lomo cameras that arent pieces of junk. In the junk pile i have some SLRs, praktica, pentax, and some old rangefinders. Unfortunately i love them all, working or not. My apartment space doesnt like that though.
Im writing a novel, i do apologize. Anyways I'll link up a couple images. Looking forward to learning more and more about photography and such. I took a break from it while i was at school and starting work but now i want to get back into it full on!
