I am a visual effects artist and photography instructor from the SF Bay Area. I've been a photographer for as long as I can remember. All but one camera I shoot with, shoot film. I develop and print all of my B&W, and I'm doing my part to keep film alive.. because there's no argument that it's better than digital.. for now at least. :)

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sebastiao Selgado
Elliott Erwitt
Edward Weston
Mary Ellen Mark
