Pacific Northwest Images

I thought I would start out by talking briefly about the camera gear I have and use. My first camera was given to me by my father. It was a Bell & Howell Auto 35 Reflex. Sadly, I don’t have it anymore (might be at my parents house) but it was the same thing as the Canon EX Auto. Here’s a picture to it

After using that camera for a year or so I saved enough money to buy a Canon T70

I also started using (again, thanks to my father) a Canon A1

I love these two Canon FD mount cameras! I still use them and still love every minute of my time with them. Hey, they have depth of field scales on the lenses!!!!

I skipped the whole EOS film camera lines. I’ve used the EOS 3 and also used (and loved) a couple of EOS 1-series film cameras but I never felt like giving up my FD’s.

When it was time to make the move to digital, I stayed with Canon. What can I say, I’m loyal…

Really, the reason was that I see myself wanting a full frame digital camera and after I invest in a set of lenses, I want them to match my upgrade path. Since, right now, Canon is the only one that offers a full frame digital SLR in the Canon 1DS series, I went with Canon.

I started with the Digital Rebel

After a year of lovely images, I added the Canon 20D to my bag.

The 20D is a wonderful camera and now that I have worked a system out that maximizes what I want to create, I find it a very workable tool.

I still shoot my film cameras. Mostly black and white, infrared, or for slides but I’m slowly shifting over to all digital. I do miss my darkroom though… All of the images on my site were shot using either the 20D or the Digital Rebel. I have some film that I need to have processed from the T70 that I took on a hike a few weeks ago. I may scan that and get it on there too.
