Introduction

Photographer/geek/artist originally from Palo Alto, California (near San Francisco) and Seattle, Washington, in the US... Travelled for a while, and now living in Berlin!

What inspires you to take a photograph? The City? Landscapes? Portraits? Closeups?

Interest, emotion... Sometimes that's an interesting pattern of shapes; other times it's an evocative scene; other times it's a human expression... There are many things, these are just a few examples, with a hope of capturing a generality of what I see in them.

What are some common areas of difficulty that you currently experience with your camera?

I miss film. :) I might have to get myself a film camera again...

Do you have a digital SLR camera? If so, are you shooting on manual?

I suppose technically "bulb" on my DSLR is a different mode, and sometimes I'm shooting in that, but otherwise... Yes, I almost always shoot on manual, though for a while it was only with a Canon G12 point-and-shoot (luckily, I have a DSLR again)... It's about as close as one can get to an SLR in a point-and-shoot, though, including having one dial for the shutter and another for aperture, so that was nice, at least. (And I still carry it around, and might even use it again some day... ;) Luckily, I just (2013-01-24) re-entered the world of DSLR owners... and yes, definitely shooting manual, when I'm not shooting Bulb. :)

  • Sorry you won't be joining us tonight - if you change your mind, you can always order a bionade ;) It's a very casual, cozy spot - not like a 'bar' or 'club'. Otherwise, hope you'll join us for another event in the near future!

  • Hi David,
    Nice getting to chat with you tonight. Nice to meet someone from the NW (even though I was actually born here!) & someone also having to get through the red tape to be here. Look forward to learning from you & getting to see what we all come up with.
    All the best,
    M.

  • Hi lindes, our user group is not about trying to convince people to use one Lisp over the other. I you like CL, well that's awesome!

    Keep it up!

  • Hi Lindes! Did you meet Devin at the Seattle Feminist Book Club? She told me they had a good discussion last night. I would have liked to go but I had a board meeting with another men and masculinity group. Glad to have you on board I'm excited to meet and chat with you!

  • Thanks, Lindes, it was great to see you, too. I'm glad you came. A few weeks ago I was invited to an event for writers with a bunch of muckity-muck writer people and I couldn't go because I felt too ashamed. You inspired me to put myself out there more, be willing...and I appreciate it.
