>Personal history of photography: I started with a 126 instamatic in the
late 1960's at the age of 8. My first love was and still is monochrome
images. Studied cinema in the mid-80's and got a degree. Gradually I
drifted back to still photography. Went back for a  Masters degree in
visual studies in 1990-93. Studied with Nathan Lyons at Visual Studies
Workshop in Rochester N.Y.

preferred subjects: Aging cities, nudes, landscape.

>materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry): Really I buy whatever
film that is cheap. That way I save money for IR! Primarily I have
shot the Konica 750 IR. I prefer warm tone European papers such as AGFA
Portriga or Forte Fortezo. > 

> format (35mm/medium format/large format): 40% 35mm, 60% 120, and only
occasionally 4x5. 
> 
> - Other strange hobbies: I'm an aviation enthusiast, particulary combat
aircraft from WWI and WWII. I build scale models of the classic fighters
and bombers, and go to lots of airshows. Also amateur astronomy and
archaeology are pursuits as time & weather permit. > 

>How did you find out about this list: Saw the post on Photoforum. 

>Expand on anything photographic you like: Digital imaging will be the
greatest advancement in photography since the dry plate IF it is ever
accepted as a creative medium. >
