my photography story

I am addicted to modern classics geared for simplicity and travel.

A huge mistake people usually ignore is that corporations unnecessarily change things just for profit this is the majority of our waste.

Really I don't think we need %90 of what we create because nature does everything better than we do and always will.

A lack of appreciation for nature is a big reason why it is disappearing.

That is why I hike and bicycle to see nature and take photos i want to preserve something that is dying.

For my birthday in 2025 I got my first real camera the Nikon Zfc

Before this I used my phone or action cameras.

My camera is a retro design and usually I use vintage style manual Voigtlander lenses that have focus assist.

The camera has traditional film dials like iso exposure shutter and even has a mechanical shutter.

This gives me the illusion that I am in control and not being lazy having a flimsy machine do everything for me.

Many people in my family were into photography early I wish I paid attention and got into it earlier.

Now I realize why.

I also have a retro motorcycle, wardrobe and classic dutch bicycle.

I enjoy simple things that respect the old ways sometimes things change that had no good reason to change.

I could do without the modernity but my retro items are a mix of old & new ways.

My Suzuki motorcycle is a retro modeled after early Japanese but with modern fuel injection and automatic throttle compensation.

I am also into nomadic folding travel gear like a Journeyman folding guitar that has it's own an rolling overhead suitcase.

My folding travel bicycle is also a traditional old design a Bike Friday hand made in Oregon.

It has a bicycle trailer that can hold the bicycle & trailer wheels for travel.

Years ago I shifted all of my decisions to gear toward a simplified almost all human powered nomadic

I will likely always have my camera with me when I travel now.

This is my legacy, a visual record of my travels, an average person's legacy lasts 50-100 years and usually only within their family.

I have many more photos on backup drives I'll attempt to organize them and decide which to make public.

They obviously won't fit here.
