I've been actively exploring photography for about four years now. My father was a professional photographer in the style of Ansel Adams, but unfortunately I didn't take the opportunity to learn much from him. Claudia Goetzelman, an excellent Singapore-based photographer, helped me get started initially in April of '97 when I purchased a used Minolta 500si (w/ 35-70 f3.5/4 and 70-210 f3.5/5.6). I now work with the Nikon System.
In addition, I shoot some medium format photography. I use a Holga 120 (as lovable a toy camera as there ever was), and a 2 and a 1/4 Hai Bao (Seagull) Chinese bellows camera. I don't know the age of the Seagull, but I think it's fairly old. If anyone has information on these cameras, I'd like to hear from you.
Film - For now, I like to split my efforts almost equally between color and black and white. (I don't necessarily scan them onto the Web in the same proportion though). I used to use Ilford HP5+ and FP4+ for black and white, but shoot a lot of TMAX now. I use Fuvi Velvia (RVP) and Kodak Elite II (100 ISO) most often for color shoots, and Kodak Porta 160 and 400 VC often also.
