baldrick2dogs' photostream

A seasoned expatriate, I've spent 15+years around the Middle East.
I've been taking snaps since I was 11, but got into photography seriously from around 18 with my first Pentax SLR (A3) and a couple of years later got a Lubitel 166 TLR which is a fully manual camera that taught me all about exposure. see www.lomography.com/lubitel166+/ for details.
Past cameras owned:
Kodak Instamatic 277x - uts.cc.utexas.edu/~ifex534/cameras/277x.html
Kodak Ektralite 10 - insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/~mfo/110/index.html
Zenit E - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenit_(camera)
Pentax A3 (Film) - www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Pentax
Got into Digital Photography in its infancy with a Casio QV series featuring 1/4mp capture - ooh, wow!
Pentax Optio 430
Canon EOS 300D then 350D
Now shooting with a Canon EOS 5D mark II
Lenses: Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro.
Canon EF 50mm f1.4
Canon EF 16-35 L zoom f2.8
Canon EF 70-200 L f2.8 IS USM
Sigma 28-300
If you like my work, why not write me a testimonial? Who knows, I might even return the favour!
For my Arabic speaking friends a Google translation:
متمرس المغتربين ، قضيت 15 سنة فأكثر في مختلف أنحاء الشرق الأوسط.
لقد أخذ الطقات منذ كان عمري 11 ، ولكن في التصوير الفوتوغرافي وحصل على نحو 18 من بجدية مع أول Pentax SLR (A3) ، وعامين في وقت لاحق حصل Lubitel 166 TLR وهو دليل الكاميرا تماما أن تعلمت كل شيء عن التعرض
إذا كنت ترغب في عملي ، لماذا لا تكتب لي شهادة؟ ومن يدري ، ربما حتى لصالح عودة

"Excerpt from an e-mail to baldrick2dogs:
I have received comments from you in hit, miss or maybe and others where you said my photo wasn't good but I use that info to help me improve. And it makes it that much better when I receive a good vote from you because I know you're being honest. Just wanted to let you know that I like your photos and value your opinion. As a very new photographer, I look up to you and few others here on flickr."7th January, 2010

"I have just finished the fairly Herculean task of viewing Alan's entire photostream. I am pleased to report that not only have I been enriched by going to places I would otherwise never have seen, the quality of his imagery is consistently first class. Do yourself a favorite and take a really close look here."
