I love Flickr - There are a lot of amazing photographers on here, doing very creative stuff. Flickr is a universe unto itself and when I get lost in it i'm in awe of the talents of these people - so much i'm envious.

My Camera - The majority of my shots are taken in and around Southern Ontario on my Canon EOS Elan 7. The acronym EOS was chosen for Eos, the Titan Goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, and is often pronounced as a word (i.e., EE-oss). The EOS Elan 7/7e is a single-lens reflex film camera from Canon's EOS series, first released in October 2000. It was replaced in 2004 by a minor update with the EOS ELAN 7N. There are a few exceptions on my photostream which are taken with a Fuji Film Finepix Z10fd digital camera. These photos are noted accordingly.

Me - I moved to Southern Ontario in 2005. I find this place offers a lot of diversity to shoot constantly fresh stuff on any given day. One of my goals is to return to Illinois so that I can increase my material in the Chicago Vault folder. While I have no formal training in any capacity as a photographer I enjoy the process and am always trying to stretch myself and maintain an appealing array of images. I am very interested in your feedback so I look forward to your comments.

My Favourites - If it's on my favourites then it's important to me. I deliberately keep my favourites to between 9-10 pages. If I go over I'll start deleting. This ensures that I always keep those shots that electrify me time and time again. I hope you like my choices too.
