I am a professional photographer from michigan...
I am inspired by the natural, and people's interaction with it. BW is always my favorite because our eyes take notice of the lines of an image more than the subjects. Film kicks ass.

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes it's roar,
I love not man the less, but nature more...."
Lord Byron
