My Bio
Well, a cursory glance at my gallery tells you I'm a photographer. In my opinion, my landscapes and still lifes generally suck, and I should probably stick to portraits.

I am a hopeless Retrophile, as is evident in my taste in photographic accoutrema. I shoot a LOT of film, and will continue until I die, no questions asked.

This is not to say I do not use Digital. I am not a hopeless film snob, as in to say that I do own a DSLR, and I do use it. I may even put photos from it up on here, If I like them enough. But generally, I tend to prefer my film shots. (That and the fact that the ID I made on here kinda forces the majority of the stuff I put up to be 8x10 Large Format LOL)

I use these things called View Cameras a lot. They are big bellows cameras, and my 1945 Speed Graphic 4x5 camera that I got off a forum classifieds and restored can still out res your 30mp $30,000 Medium Format Digital Hasselblad.

Film truly is superior, IF you know how to use it.

Current Residence: Earth
Print preference: Silver Gelatin Darkroom print, usually matte RC paper (Ilford Multigrade IV)
Favourite photographer: Eugene Smith
Favourite style of art: Photography or Music, Literature too
Operating System: Anything that actually works
MP3 player of choice: Are Vinals an option?
Wallpaper of choice: None, Wood Paneling
Skin of choice: N/A

Well, of course as you can probably imagine, I have a lot more stuff than what I put on here. My Flickr, for example, I use as a general dump / repository for a large collection or assorted images. So far, I've only been putting my favorites up here... But if you see something you think I should add... http://www.flickr.com/easmithv And, also... I really need to actually SHOOT some more freakin 8x10... After all...

Well, if you see my stuff starting to take a trend towards the sadistic and mildly disturbing, don't be too surprised. I'm having a difficult time right now.
