Been a photographer since I was 10 or so, starting with my dad's Minolta and a Kodak Disc. In high school, I got my hands on a Yashica FX-3 and played with my dad's Canon EOS 630 and 650 when he was working in sports and landscape photography. I inherited his EOS Elan in the early 2000s when I worked primarily with slide film and black and white. I was also shooting with a Graflex Graphic 35 rangefinder. I was starting to get serious around them, primarily in landscapes and street photography. Digital was a game change for a financially strapped photographer like me. Film no longer held me back and shot constantly. Still do.
