Al in Philly's photostream  

I'm just somebody lost in the process of sharing what I feel through photography. I guess I try to experience the stories around me with my eyes and ears--maybe even more importantly, what I'm smelling and what I'm feeling-- and then tell them to others with my camera. Archetecture and natural beauty often catch my eyes and make me think, but seldom give me the urge to pick up my camera; but people experiencing the wonders, or horrors, of life will always get me to shoot them.

In April of 2010 PHL Metropolis News Magazine did a profile on me and my Flickr photos. If you want a better glimpse of me and what I do, it's not a bad place to start--here's a link to it: www.phlmetropolis.com/2010/04/the-flickring-of-philly-al-...

If you want to see what I look like when I'm out on a shoot, look at Andrew Odhusky's photo of me doing my thing in Old City Philadelphia on a First Friday: www.flickr.com/photos/19695834@N00/3805306907/sizes/l/in/...

For a little background on the Carnivolution shows at the Tiberino Museum, here is a link to a story carried in the Drexel Triangle: www.thetriangle.org/media/storage/paper689/news/2010/11/1...


My current camera is an Olypus e-30.
Some of my earlier shots were taken with an Olympus e-510 and C5050Z.

The lenses which I mainly use are:
Panasonic/Leica Summilux 25mm f1.4
Sigma 50mm f1.4
Zuiko ED 7-14mm f4
Zuiko ED 12-60 f2.8
Zuiko ED 70-300 f4

On the rare occaision that I use a strobe, I use an Olympus FL-50
