I'm from Portland, Oregon but have spent the last year living overseas in Munich and then in the Surrey hills outside London.

I have been shooting film and developing my own black and whites for a couple of years after a stint in digital. Returning to film as my primary photographic medium has been rewarding. I have a motley collection of old cameras including:

1950's Balda Mess-Baldix rangefinder 120 folder
Brand new Arsenal Kiev 88CM with Arsat C 2.8/80mm and Arsat C (Mir-26b) 3.5/45mm
1958 Leica M2, shares lenses with the Zorki 4 via adapters
1970's Rollei 35S with the Rollei-made Sonnar 2.8/40mm
1951 Aires Reflex Y 120 TLR
1957 Soviet Zorki 4 rangefinder (with Voigtlander Color-Skopar 2.5/35mm, Jupiter-8, Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar 4.5/15mm, and Leica Summicron 2/50mm)
Late 1950's Exakta VX IIa SLR with Zeiss Biotar 2/58mm (souvenir from a Polish flea market)
1970 or so Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic SLR (with SMC Takumar 2/50mm, 3.5/35mm and Tamron 2.8/135mm)
Minolta X-370n SLR(replaced my SRT in the late 90's) with Vivitar zoom lens
Zenit 212K SLR with Helios 2/58mm lens (Russian Biotar)

I am sure I will be modifying this list down the road. I love older stuff, particularly less well-known gear that performs well.

I have recently moved to Guildford, UK after a six month stint in Munich, Germany.
