I’m finally working on getting a dedicated photography blog started (you are here). I’ll be creating a few backdated posts with some content that I previously posted on my personal journal so this place doesn’t look completely empty at first glance.

A few short blurbs about me: I grew up in Buffalo, NY and so far I’ve lived in Raleigh, NC, Nashua, NH, and Somerville, MA.

Upcoming posts will include the Small Strobes, Big Results workshop recently held in Buffalo, the Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar lens, and getting up close and personal with a couple of tigers.
