KartaPurkh's most popular photosCan't tell you how long I have been taking pictures. First camera was a Yashica twin lens. With it I bought a lipstick sized mink brush to keep camera and leans clean. I still have that brush but have passed through many cameras. I'm still heavily committed to film but economics determine that I shoot digital, Konica Minolta (Sony) D7 digital slr.
Always looking to improve in all ways. Any criticsm no matter how harsh or wrong headed will be welcomed. Neath even the most caustic comment is a spark of truth.
Would be more than happy to exchange ideas and criticisms but not empty flattery.
I also teach yoga, write poetry, ride a bicycle, worry about a daughter and try to stay meditative.
Light changes everything!
