 - Name: Wally Hampton
 
 - Profession/Study: None
 
 - Country: USA
 
 - Personal history of photography: Photography was a hobby for several
years. About 15 years ago I had the opportunity to pursure photography full
time, which to date continues to be the case. Went back to school and got a
degree in commercial photography. Do some commercial work, but by no means
enough to say it is my profession.  Most time is spent on personal projects.,
with maybe two or three shows a year, usually in alternative spaces. Most of
work is in B&W. Off and on IR has been played with.  A friend does IR work
almost exclusivly and has long been pushing/bugging me to use it more, take
some classes in Italy with her, etc...
 
 - preferred subjects: For IR, people and landscape
 
 - materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry): FILM: Kodak's IR (used Konica
once in Hawaii and haven't since). FILTERS: Use the red and 87 filters most
of the time. Also use an 87 over flash for street work. PAPER: Generally
Kodak's latest MG fiber paper. CHEMISTRY: HC110

 - 35mm/medium format/large format): Have used IR in 35mm, medium, and 4x5:
Don't have medium format equipment anymore.
 
 - Other strange hobbies: Ceramics, sculpture, music (blues, drums, guitar)
 
 - How did you find out about this list: Don't remember.
 
 - Expand on anything photographic you like:

Experimenting with Video Capture ---> Digital Negatives ---> Platinum /
Silver Contact Printing.... some sucess with the digital neg side, but the
video has not been good enough yet.... the new digital video cameras may
help, but have not done any tests yet. Will be testing the Canon L1 camera
next, (digital freeze frame sampling I have been told).
