About MumbleyJoe / Tyler Westcott  

Profile 3.0 (2/11/09).

Reall, I'm just a guy taking pictures. I'm a Canadian living in Seattle - I've been here since September 2008, and had been living in San Francisco since 2001. I began shooting in 2007 after purchasing a Nikon D40 and opted to begin shooting large format (4x5 film) in 2008. Now in 2009 I've added a Nikon D90 to my arsenal - not that this is all tremendously important, but people tend to be curious. Here's a rough overview of what's in my 'kit' these days:

-Nikon D90
-Nikon 50mm f/1.8
-Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 AFS VR II (11x zoom)
-Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 HSM (ultrawide zoom)
-Tachihara 4x5 Field Camera
-Schneider 90mm f/8 Super-Angulon
-Caltar 150mm f/5.6
-Caltar 210mm f/6.1
-Manfrotto 190 CXB Tripod Legs
-Manfrotto 486 RC2 Ball Head
...plus Fuji Provia & Velvia, Kodak TMAX, HiTech ND Grads and lots of odds & ends

I really enjoy posting in the Flickr community for its inspiration, feedback, and just for being a great place to share images and other updates with friends and family. I recently decided to augment my flickr stream with a personal website, at www.tylerwestcott.com - and you can reach me with any inquiries either through flickr mail or by emailing me at tylerwestcott.com@gmail.com - though I apologize in advance for often falling behind on responses.

Thanks for stopping by to see my shots, maybe add a comment, or adding me as a contact. I've
Also, I try to recover a little bit of my cost by making some of my shots available for purchase through imagekind.com. They do a wonderful job and produce really high quality prints, which also means they're not particularly cheap. If you're interested click below, or if you would like to see something added from here let me know.

I struggle with what's best, but put my faith in people that they will follow these guidelines, and as such provide my images in unwatermarked full-resolution.

If you blog it I respectfully request that you at least let me know so I can check out your blog. Hey, if you're read this much and you ever happen to see something of mine used in a way it shouldn't be please let me know. I really enjoy seeing other people's work in full resolution, but understand why so many won't. I hope to be able to keep the full rez shots up without watermarking in the future too.



And finally, here's a shot of me taken by Jeremy Brooks.
