I'm an enthusiastic amateur photographer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. I occasionally get to shoot professionally, but often I'm shooting for my own projects. I specialize in on-location portraiture, product photography, and lighting. In particular, I really enjoy making environmental portraits -- people in their spaces.
I'd be nowhere without the help of my friends in photography and without the plethora of internet resources available today to amateur photographers. Continuing that favor, I'm always happy to talk photography and teach beginners in photography.
I've built my kit from excellent old manual Nikon prime lenses and old manual flashes. Learning to use gear like this was a great experience and taught me to control every aspect of my images.
If you want to learn more about photography, I recommend the following local groups in which I participate:
