I thus commence being a poor artist.
A legitimately poor, complaining artist, who rides a lot of busses.
I am 20, and I have a camera. Several, actually, but I mostly use my Bessa R2A and my Nikon FM2n, depending on circumstance. I’m one of those odd people who mostly just uses a 50mm lens. How boring. Zoom with your feet, guys.
A few people ask why I don’t use a digital camera – no reason, I just like film better. I’ve been using computers since the age of 5 (I rocked Commander Keen), and while I enjoy them and know them pretty deeply I wouldn’t stake my memories on them. Film feels right, and you can feel it with your own fingers.
As of February 2008 I’ve moved into Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, Australia.
I take photos on a small budget, and this is my blog.
