1. Whats your favorite camera & why? 

Nikon FM3a - I just recently purchased this and I really like the flow and feel of it, perfect fully manual camera for everyday use. I learned film photography on my Pentax Super ME, so that will always have a place in my heart. Other notable cameras include Nikon N80Polaroid SX-70Polaroid 360 Land Camera.

2. What type of photographer would you describe yourself as/how would you describe your photographic style?

Mostly experimental photography and street photography. My eye is drawn to the dirt - raw forms, abandoned scenes, curious ironic moments, light leaks, mistakes. I like experimenting with photo chemistry (polaroids) and taking multiple exposure shots out of curiosity. Nothing is ever planned or calculated, completely in the moment - candid shots from my life, mistakes are always the best part.

3. Whats your dream photo shoot?

Going out for a walk in New York or any other undiscovered place, nature or urban environment. Finding peculiar scenes, a small peep-hole on a construction site, random shots of people who are not camera-conscious and in the moment. Getting that one shot in that one particular moment with the sun setting which will never happen again the same way.
