>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>- Name:  Shelly Jefferson
>
>- Profession/Study:  Graduate student at the University of Maryland (UM), 
>studying counseling education.
>
>- Country:  United States
>
>- Personal history of photography:  I have always loved taking pictures 
>since I was a small kid.  I took a few courses in photography at my 
>undergraduate university and now I am working for the photography 
>department at UM.  My work recently has been driven by my desire to broaden 
>my knowledge and skills in photography.  As far as the future and where I 
>am going with this, I hope that I can somehow combine photography and 
>counseling/therapy with children in my chosen profession.
>
>- Preferred subjects:  PEOPLE!!  and also animals, sports, social 
>events/activities, nature, landscapes ... anything not too industrial.  
>I've been trying to move toward a more abstract and artistic photographic 
>vision as well, but I think I have not been so successful at this!
>
>- Materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):  yes, I use these =)  I use 
>35mm B&W Kodak film ... I'm learning about filters and slowly starting to 
>aquire some ... I generally use Illford Multigrade RC paper, but I have 
>recently purchased some Illford Fiber based and also warm-tone and 
>cool-tone RC to try out ... I use the chemicals that they provide in the 
>photo lab at school, Kodak I believe.  I also have done some toning and 
>hand-coloring....
>
>- Format (35mm/medium format/large format): 35mm right now.  Hopefully when 
>I get a job and have "extra money" (if there is such a thing), I'll be able 
>to delve into medium format!
>
>- Other strange hobbies:  camping, hiking, mountain biking - anything 
>outdoors and adventurous (i.e. rockclimbing, skydiving once or twice, etc.) 
>... and when I can't do those things, I'll settle for a good match of 
>racquetball or tennis!
>
>- How did you find out about this list: I am trying to learn more about 
>infrared photography before I start experimenting, and I found information 
>about this list while I was surfing the internet.
