Mike Ambach's photostream  

My name is Mike, and I'm a photoholic.



I have a dog. This is important to me. This word rhymes with blog.

I also have a banjo, but I do not practice enough. My bad.

Hope you like my photos. Sometimes, I think they have something to do with nature, humans, and all the weirdness that we impose on that relationship. Other times, it's just photos of things that catch my eye. If you want to use one somewhere, please let me know.

I admit that I'm a slave to "nice" textures, compositions, and so on, but the photos (mostly of other flickrites) that I love are often the spontaneous ones that have a healthy disregard for prettiness.

I'm hopelessly attracted to small, shiny objects that take pictures, and currently use a Nikon D700, a Nikon F100, an F3, a Mamiya 7 II (I love it!!) and occasionally a Horizon panoramic film camera. Oh, and a Contax G2 (that's new, yum...). And an Olympus Digital "Pen".

...and a 1950 6x6 rangefinder with bellows, that I've named "Gursky" after a character in a book.

...and a Fuji 645 rangefinder that came in a great box covered in stamps.
