My Bio
I got into photography a few years ago when I snapped a photo with my cellphone and it accidently turned out great. I didn't do much with it until college, when I really got into it. Currently, I am a chem student. Grad school is my next stop if all goes well. Photography is my artistic outlet. I believe that everyone needs some form of art in their life to help relieve the stress of life and create something beautiful to be proud of. That being said, almost anything can be an art form. Find your passion and pursue it. Above all, be passionate - love life. Feel free to note me just to say hello, and please, throw me some feedback.

NEW CAMERA!

I just bought a Sony A57, and it is amazing. New photos will be much higher quality. :)

Polaroids

0 min read
Somehow, I have ended up with a small collection of old polaroid cameras. I did not set out to make this happen. Craigslist just sucked me in, and they were all too good to pass up. -A folding SX-70 with bag, flash, and manual. -An SX-70 Onestep (Rainbow edition). -A bellows-style 600 model that I can't completely ID.

CHDK

0 min read
I added CHDK to my SX40 today, and I have to say, I am blown away! (Sorry about all the rhymes, very unintentional) The features it added are amazing! For gosh sakes, I can play TETRIS on my camera. But seriously, it brought me from max shutter of 15 sec to just over 2,000 seconds. And increased the upper range as well, but I don't know how much. I can now use any ISO I want with any shutter speed I want, instead of being stuck at 100 with slower speeds. I can save in RAW format now, and apparently my camera was cropping the photos before saving the jpeg, because now when I am at max wide-angle, it actually shows the lens hood in the corners
