I'm Faruk Ateş, I am a creative design & web development consultant living in San Francisco. I write and speak about making great websites and other things I consider important.
I'm passionate about my photography, but consider it mostly a way to document the world around me. I do rather enjoy doing portrait shots, and am available for photo shoots of any kind.
I shoot with a Nikon D300 and:
• 50mm 1.4/D
• 85mm 1.8/D
• 24-70mm 2.8/G
• 18-200mm 3.5–5.6
• Speedlight SB-600

A note about my friends & contacts:
I use Flickr's distinction between "friends" and "contacts" as follows: Friends are people I've met, Contacts is everyone else. There are a few exceptions, where I'll list people as friend without having met them yet — in such cases I generally chat with those people very regularly.
If you're in my Contacts selection but we have met before, I probably just forgot to "upgrade" our relationship status after meeting you. Let me know and I'll correct it.
About comments
I've instated a policy of deleting any comments that embed pictures. Small avatars when replying with Greasemonkey and the like are okay; anything else will get your entire comment deleted. Just don't do it.

"Faruk is not only a talented writer, but a born photographer as well. I used to be an active member of Newsvine.com and a lot of people I met on that site have become good friends. I'd like to think Faruk is one of them. Keep impressing the web (2.0). Cheers."

"Kurafire is a great friend and photographer. He's smart and stubborn and goofy. He's forgotten more about web design than most people know, too!"
