samgrover's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I like it when the camera goes "click".

I shoot digital with an Olympus PEN E-P1 and an Apple iPhone. I shoot film with a Voigtländer Bessa R2A. I also have photos from cameras I used to have or use rarely; Nikon FM10, Holga, Canon Powershot SD200 and Nikon D70s DSLR.

I usually don't post process my film photos, but when I do, I include appropriate tags (like "photoshop").

Many of my photos are from my current neighborhood.

Many of them are on this map.

Many of my photos are available under a Creative Commons license.

If you would like to use a photo, please do so within the scope of the license attached to it. If you need extra permissions, please don't hesitate to ask. Most likely you will get them. In any case, let me know when you use a photo. I would really appreciate it.
