- Personal history of photography 

        I enjoy photography on both amateur and professional levels:
        As a hobby I make photographs of biological subjects in nature but
        I have also practiced a lot of photography in my work as
        a neuroscience lab technician.  Mostly light photomicroscopy
        of regenerating neurons. I am familiar with many types of
photography
        and microscopy including laser confocal microscopy.  I also have 
        experience with B/W darkroom work for journal publications and 
        tranmission electron microscopy and polaroid type 665 for S.E.M.
        

- preferred subjects:

        I maintain a web site at http://www.pic.net/~flzhgn/
        which has some of my photography including an infrared nature 
        section.  This section has some macro insect photos taken on
Kodak
        high speed Infrared film.

- materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):
       
        Kodak High Speed Infrared film, Developer: HC110 dilution B,
flatbed scanner

- format (35mm/medium format/large format): 
        
        Format 35mm (mostly)

- Other strange hobbies: 
        
        Photography of hummingbirds and whales

- How did you find out about this list: 
        
        Professor Davidhazy's web site.

- Expand on anything photographic you like:
        
        A long time interest in vision has led me to wonder about how
the
        natural world appears to creatures which perceive wavelengths beyond
        those that humans see and of other developments in evolution
(such as
        the yellow lenses of many mammals and birds that absorb the blue
light                  scattering of atmospheric oxygen (Raleigh
effect); the colored retinal
        cone cells of many animals; the far red vision of the goldfish is 
        another example--how does extended red sensitivity help the goldfish
        to see in its watery-world and how can I get an idea of what it 
        sees with my camera and film?
