About amortize

Geek!

Mainly, I use a Nikon D50, a Zenit 11 and a Nikon F70. I've just started to play with a Holga

I'm very fond indeed of the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim.

Otherwise, I've got a Lubitel 166B with which I've not had good results, and also a Zenit 12XP, but I haven't developed anything from that, yet.

I wish I took more pictures of people, but I mostly seem to wind up taking pictures of buildings. I'm very keen on double-exposure collaborations with other people.

I do take flower macro pictures, but then my house contains upwards of 150 orchid plants.

You'll also see pictures of our cats sometimes, because I am soppy like that.

Most, but not all, of my pictures are licensed under Creative Commons licence (attribution, no commercial, share-alike). Those that aren't CC licensed will usually be of people, because I don't necessarily know the wishes of the subjects.

I'm Male and Taken.
