Having loved photography for as long as I can remember, I bought my first Pentax K1000 nearly seven years ago. I immediately fell in love with the whole process: composing the shot, winding the film, waiting for the results....I have continued to shoot exclusively with fully manual film cameras and use primarily color film. While black and white film has many beautiful attributes, I prefer color because I am hoping to represent the world around me as accurately as possible. My photographs are my life as I live it.
