Howdy from Virginia

Hey all. I'm a photographer currently in Harrisonburg, VA, USA. I've been shooting for 18 years. My first camera was a 110 point&shoot, upgraded to a 4MP kodak p&s, then in college grabbed my dad's Minolta XE-7 and never gave it back. I also used the Canon AE-1, FT, & Rebel XT. Currently looking toward a venture into medium format (film).


My current setup is the Pentax k-70; Pentax-A 50/1.7; Pentax-A 70-210/4; SMC Super Takumar 135/3.5; Sigma 28/2.8 mini wide II-a; DA 18-135.

I mainly shoot nature stuff, with a focus on abstraction. I am a big fan of Wynn Bullock, Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, etc.


I'll try to hop in on a bunch of threads as time goes forward, but just wanted to say Hello!

Welcome! I'm a Pentaxian who lives in Maryland but have a lot of family from the Harrisonburg area, mostly near Broadway and Fulks Run. I've been to that area hundreds of times, certainly a lot of great photographic opportunities in the mountains.
