How about some interesting photos?

I'm a fotobuff. I especially love photography equipment and film, often finding myself trying to post-edit digital photos to look analogue like a lomographer or something. While I like smartphone cameras, have you ever tried to photograph the moon with one? Ugh...and a phone can't reproduce the feel, look, and sound of a film camera. 

The first camera I ever used was my father's 1959 Canonflex. Weighing over 2 pounds with lens, it was like carrying a cannonball! Since then, I've acquired several old film cameras and newer digital cameras, and have traveled with them, capturing extraordinary moments on film and flash-drives.  

This page contains some of my favorite images (digital and film) from my travels. They aren't in any particular order. I wanted to present a little something for everyone.  The images do include titles, locations, and equipment.  These are not for sale and shouldn't be reproduced for commercial use.  If you're interested in purchasing my images, shop here: ShutterStock.com.
