dvsmith's photostream

I'm a former-professional photographer living in the Research-Triangle region of the North Carolina Piedmont. Largely self-taught (formal technical instruction for two semesters in college), I've been messing around with a camera since I was 5 or 6 (Kodak Trimlite 18 in 110mm) and SLRs since I was 11 or 12.

is my (mostly) art-nude photostream;
thePhotosmith.com is my website

The photos posted here are largely as shot, unless noted otherwise in the description. Images with filenames aren't finalized (I do, actually give my artwork titles, much as I hate to) and they aren't even necessarily my absolute favorites -- sometimes, I like holding back, a little.


I prefer in-camera crops and eschew digital manipulation that couldn't otherwise be done in a darkroom on an enlarger.
