~ Nando ~'s photostream
|
I am an educator with the Algoma District School Board. I live in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada but I try to spend summers in Coimbra, Portugal.
I drew when I was a teen. After finishing university, I started to photograph. At the time, photography appealed to me primarily because it seemed faster than drawing. Eventually, it became a great study.
I like to use black and white film and completely manual, mechanical cameras. I use many cameras and many film formats but I prefer Leica rangefinders. I process my own film (b&w and colour) and print both digitally and in a traditional darkroom.

Sedanman says:
"I have been on flickr for 10 months now, and this is the first testimonial I've written for a contact. In the short time I've "known" Fernando (we share an interest in unique and vintage automobiles), I have become amazed at the beauty in his photographs. The black and white format he uses gives the pictures such a warm, calming glow. The people, expressions, and feelings conveyed in his work are all very special, and I feel like I'm in another world when I see them."
