Bio - Nick Jackson -Reply

[TAMMY L. SULLIVAN <SULLITL@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too, have forgotten to fill in a "Bio" ... thanks Nick! for reminding me ...

Name:  Tammy Sullivan

Profession/Study:  Nuclear Engineer and Professional Photographer 

Country:  Connecticut/USA

Personal history of photography:  Have always had a camera in hand since I can
remember.  I have no formal training in photography and all that I have learned
was through reading, listening and watching.  I have no printing experience
whatsoever either but still find immense valuable information from the group. 
I was introduced to wedding photography in 1990, when I was asked by a
desperate relative to photograph her wedding.  I did it, was hooked and now 6
years later I work for one of the top wedding photojournalists in the northeast
and also cover events on my own locally.  I am gearing up to leave my full time
job (at 31) and venture into this strange world in the next 2 years.  Presently
working on my CPP certification.

Preferred subjects:  For my professional business I strictly photograph
weddings and
events.  I also do the occasional family/children outdoor enviro type
portraits.  My bulldog
"McDuff" and my husband are always at my disposal for when I am in need of
subjects.   :)
 
Materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):  For black and white work I use
Kodak HIE (I don't print it but have a local lab take care of that for me).  I
also like Tri-X and TMax films.  I love the look of b/w on Ektalure papers and
the occasional sepia or sellenium tone.  
 
Format:  35mm (Nikon N09s) and 6x6 (Hasselblad 503CXi)

Other strange hobbies:  I don't think any of these classify as strange, but I
do enjoy underwater photography and will be experimenting with HIE in my
Nikonos V this winter.
I enjoy travel, skiing, scuba, cooking, flying.

 How did you find out about this list:  By accident when I was searching for
sites on infrared photography.
 
Expand on anything photographic you like:  I am intriguied by HIE and continue
to discover all it has to offer.  I enjoy hand coloring my b/w prints and now
have moved over to also tinting infrared images.  My favorite subjects for
infra are children and of course, outdoor wedding ceremonies.
