Music, travel, museums and art galleries, flying, sailing, scuba diving, reading, movies, and trying to learn golf.
Most recently I've gotten into photography. I shoot with a Nikon D300, a D200 and a Fuji S2 (all digital) and use Sigma EX series telephoto lenses; I have a 2.8 17-35mm, 2.8 28-70mm (35-105mm), 2.8 70-200mm (100-300mm) Nikkor 50mm (78mm) 1.8 prime, another Nikkor 50mm (75mm) f/1.4 and an 85mm (127.5mm) f/1.8 prime and a SB-600 Flash unit. In those spare moments, I am attempting to master Adobe's Photoshop.
In March 2006 I carried my camera to Amsterdam. On the second night of Jam in the Dam I thought, "why don't I take it to the concert". Since then I've made a hobby of shooting bands. My favorite band is PGroove, of whom I've taken 10,000 and posted over 2700 so far from 45 shows. Two more are Stumble and the Mantras. I recently started trying portraits.
I'm looking for models who would like to collaborate on projects.
Want your picture taken?
I like to use the filters in Photoshop to make interesting images.
