I like making things that don't belong. I know there are ways to adapt off-beat lenses to DSLR bodies, but you know what, I think I like the challenge of making my own mount for them. And goshdarnit, there are so many homeless Polaroid cameras in the world, I want to find uses for them. I want to be that idiot that spends countless hours thinking and scheming and swearing, finding a way to do what shouldn't be done.

Outside of that, I work between Walmart and Ritz Photo. I'm building a darkroom in the basement. I love new tech and old tech alike, and damn if those old cameras don't take some really swell photos, even after 50 years. I use a Rebel XT, AE-1, and various other everything.
