Mixed Drink - Boulder Colorado - 1973. This Black Widow Spider landed on my hand while I was reading one evening in Brackett Hall, University of Colorado. I flipped it onto the floor and my enterprising roomate - in turn - tossed her into a partly filled shot glass of Southern Comfort. That made short work of the spider - and created (I thought) an interesting image to be captured. The negative was thin - and I never got a decent image off it until the advent of Photoshop. Kodak Recomar 35 9 X 12 cm sheet film camera. Kodak Tri-X.
I'm an emergency room physician since 1982. Currently I do what is called "locum tenens," working at various locations for weeks to months at a time. States I've worked include New Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana, Arizona, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Montana.
My Father got me started with adjustable cameras in the early 1960's. My gear includes basically three systems - Pentax Spotmatic (mid-late 1960's); Nikon FE2/F3HP (mid-1980's); and Leica M2/M4 with late Canon LTM optics and one Voigtlander lens. My first serious digital was a Panasonic LUMIX DMC LX2 - a startlingly versatile little instrument. I've recently picked up a Canon 5D body - on which I'll use my Asahi Super Takumar and Auto Vivitar lenses until I can afford some more contemporary optics. There are an additional fifteen or so 35mm and 120 roll cameras.
