:: About me ::
I maybe a dark “seeming” person (not quick to speak (just shy) “. I tend to have very high morals <- not as a prude but the “friend that defends everyone”). I make everything a joke just to make people smile or laugh. (Makes me look like a ass! Yes I can admit it ). ^
instruments played: piano, mandolin, violin, drums, cello <- learning

Gear i use:
Nikon d5100 x2 (1 full spectrum) (primary)

3x “homblt” (home-built) 4x6 5x7 & 8x10 view cams (rairly used)
1 Kodak Brownie
Lens:
Because I do optical engineering, Many of the lens I use, are home made or recycled parts. Most are normally manual aperture. Focus is made with threaded rings, “free lensed” or with an accordion with interchangeable mounts, several are even “c/a” corrected doublets or triplets.
all the others are the cheapest. As I find that many cheap lenses add character/”flair” to photos.
all are except for

17f/2.8 (af)(nf)
50f/1.4 (af)(nf)
200mm f/2.8 (m) (om\nf mod)
400mm @f4.0 (m) (om\nf mod)

astro-photos: are done with
700mm f7 reflector tele
10” dia. catadioptric tele. “eq.2200mm” (friend’s)
24” dia. f/3.3 reflector tele. (friend’s home spun/built mirror)

Novelty cams made and work but don't use:
2x teapot cameras (yes a “teapot” one has the lens on the side the other under the lid &
shutter cable release in spout on both. Inside frame and film plane supports were made
from 12 gauge wire.)
1 bird house camera
2 decanter cams
and plans for more

Favorite Quotes:
"One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science, is escape
from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the
fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape
from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
...Einstein.
"i wanted to be like water strong enough to hold up a ship, but still weak
enough to slip through your fingers- michelle williams "
