I had the negatives scanned so that I could produce prints more easily and share them with others. The images from Salem Walk, The Local, Il Casale, Caroga Lake, and Nine Corner Lake were shot digitally with my Canon EOS 40D. Some of the images from The Local and Il Casale were published in <em>The Improper Bostonian. </em>The images from Kaitlyn and Andrew's Wedding were shot with my Minolta. I had the images put on CD as part of my gift to them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma"><strong>About Me:</strong> I was born and raised in Manchester, Vermont. I played around with photography in high school and college, but it wasn't until a trip to Italy before my senior year of college that I truly realized my love for photography. I now live just north of Boston, in Salem Massachusetts. I'm currently working as a photography intern at <em>The Improper Bostonian Magazine</em> as well as working on promoting my own photography business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma"><strong>About My Style: </strong>As you can see I love shooting black and white. That's what I learned on and I really think that my mind just thinks in black and white when I'm taking photographs. I like to take photographs of 'every day' objects or 'things as they are'. I love to look at objects or spaces in a different way. I especially like to capture light on these objects. "You have an extraordinary sense of light and a beautiful poetic eye" -Romeo Di Loreto, my photography professor at SACI</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma"><strong>My Camera History: </strong> I received my first camera when I was about four. I think it was Fisher Price and you put water in it so when you pushed the button the water would spray onto a plastic card with an image already printed on it. Once in contact with the water the image would appear. Kind of like those paint with water books. So it actually didn't take pictures, but it was a camera all the same. Things did not improve from here. My next camera was actually invisible. Whenever I was somewhere and saw something pretty I would take a picture with my invisible camera. It beat today's models because it could hold an indefinite amount of images, but still no physical pictures. When I was about eight my Aunt Bethy gave me a Mickey Mouse camera (which I still have) that took 110 film. I was out of control with that camera, because finally I could see something, take a picture and actually get a print of it, Jackpot! When I was 16 I was given my grandfather's Minolta SRT 100 35mm. I really learned on this camera and I still love shooting with it. Once in college I upgraded myself to a much lighter Minolta Maxxum HTsi Plus 35mm SLR. I also joined the digital age and bought a fairly cheap HP point and shoot digital camera. I had no love for this camera, mostly because the batteries kept dying. Before my trip to Italy I purchased a Kodak EasyShare DX7630 and a point-and-shoot Minolta 35mm. I also brought along my SLR. I was quite the sight carrying around three cameras with me. A few years ago my grandfather gave me his Leica No. 488467. It's in great shape, but I still have yet to shoot with it. Hopefully I'll get to that soon. I have now officially joined the digital age with my purchase of a Canon 40D DSLR. I am really enjoying shooting with my Canon. I still love film, but it's pretty satisfying to see your image instantly!</span></p></font></span><br> <h1> Manchester, Vermont, Boston, Salem, Massachusetts, Black and White, light, poetic</h1>
