If you're coming to my photo stream for the first time, I find flickriver is a good place to start. Or check out my 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 sets.
Please note that my work is © Andy Marfia ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. If you'd like to license one of my photographs or purchase a print, please contact me.
I've been on flickr since 2005. I like photos with a strong sense of composition, color and tone, that tell something interesting about the world (mostly urban) that I inhabit. I'm not here to collect the most contacts or get the most photos in explore, rather just to be inspired and improve as a photographer. All comments, constructive criticism, wry humor, anecdotes about your cat, etc, are welcome and encouraged.
I've had some photos appear elsewhere: Chicago Magazine, Chicago Reader, Gapers Block, Chicago Public Radio, and a few other places. One of my photos was voted the #1 photo of 2006 by Chicagoist.com.
I shoot primarily with Nikon DSLRs and an assortment of lenses. I use Photoshop CS5 and DXO Optics Pro for minor editing. Before digital, I shot mostly with Olympus OM cameras.

egophony says:
"I think Andy is a true craftsman. In looking at his portfolio, I have especially noticed consistent focusing issues and hasty composition. You would almost think that he is working with dilapidated equipment or at least with lenses not matched for his camera body. As far as post-processing goes, his Photoshopping is beyond reproach. From deep drop shadows to garish photo frames, his lack of subtlety even distracts you from the underlying technical faults of each photo.
Have a look. You'll find his photos to be godawful, and since he regularly uploads new shots, you'll occasionally want to come back to gawk at his shabby work."3rd January, 2008
