I believe we can make great photographs with humble gear. Though I equally enjoy using top-of-the-line equipment. However, using cameras with limitations makes us stronger. From film to early digital to modern high-tech cameras — they all have their place.

I love capturing urban life, especially at night. I seek color, the glow of lights, and reflections. I dabble in street photography because the city is more than just buildings. I aspire to capture the mundane in an interesting way.

I started this blog in 2010, and it has since grown to over 4,000 posts. I feature photographs of my travels, events, and things man-made and the stories behind them. I discuss camera gear, but usually only in passing. Photography first, then stories and the gear.

I’ve used cameras from every major brand, and every camera has its unique signature. I’m a collector with over 70+ classic film and digital cameras. Gear is good, and collecting is fun, but ultimately, it’s about the photographs and the stories that surround them.

Hi, I’m Andy, and I live in Austin, Texas. Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
