iHeartDimSum's photostream  

I am an argumentative, opinionated ass from Calgary, AB, Canada. But I am also polite, sarcastic, loyal, easy going, sometimes snobby, yet mostly friendly. I am a walking contradiction - always conflicted - guilty for our society's excesses, yet still a slave to them. I am equally conflicted about Flickr - torn between posting what I like vs. posting stuff that I think others will like.

I love all types and genres of photography. Digital, analogue, lo-fi, whatever. If it's a beautiful capture or interesting image, who cares what medium it was taken with.
There is too much fanboy-ism out there - "I HATE DIGITAL" or "My Canon is better than your Nikon". The camera doesn't make the photographer. Go capture a moment with whatever camera is in your possession.

Feel free to also check out my Blog companion piece to this flickr stream - there are a lot of outtakes and other work that I don't post to my flickr stream, that I will get around to posting there.

And I've recently jumped on the Tumblr bandwagon, so you can find my crap here.
