I view the art of photography as a subtractive process, a distilling of reality into a personal vision. As such I often use the tools of modern photography, filters, digital enhancements etc., to try to capture in an image the emotions I felt at the moment I tripped the camera's shutter.
Though trained as a computer scientist, photography is a major part of my daily life.
I experienced a renewed enthusiasm and appreciation for photography after I started using analog medium-format cameras in addition to my digital 35mm cameras.
