 - Personal history of photography
Got interested as a young child with cheap cameras.  Got my first SLR in 1978
(Yashica FX-3).  Now own Nikon F90, F601, Nikkormat FTn, 24, 28, 50, 35-135,
90-300 lenses.  Do my own B&W work and some colour.  Love to take fine art
B&W images.
 
 - preferred subjects:
Landscapes, wildlife, fine art photos.
 
 - materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):
Various films, but for IR I am still deciding between Konica and Kodak.
For traditional B&W work I use T-Max 100 & 400.  For colour slides I
use Kodak Ektachrome Elite, Kodachrome 64 and Fuji Velvia.  For colour
prints I usually use Kodak Royal Gold 100 & 200. 

 - format (35mm/medium format/large format):
35mm.
 
 - Other strange hobbies:
I run the San Andreas Faults, a Stratomatic Baseball fantasy team in the
Prairie Strato League.  Four seasons, still no playoffs.  Playoff bound
this year, you can bet on it.  *grin* (126 game schedule)


 - How did you find out about this list:
Nikon Digest. 

 - Expand on anything photographic you like:
Ansel Adams is my inspiration and I'm always learning.  I'm trying to
become more patient.
