I live in Brooklyn, NY. I sometimes think about moving to Berlin. I used to shoot 99% of the time with film. Now that I have a Leica M9, there's a bit more digital in my life, but I don't plan on abandoning film anytime soon.

There's a good chance that this blog looks pretty wonky and aesthetically displeasing if you're viewing it on Internet Explorer. Most things will. Might I suggest migrating to Safari, Firefox, or Chrome for your internet needs?
