High school was my initiation, spending my days snapping shots of all us outcasts in our unnatural habitat, then developing my own film and prints in class. From there I continued with college courses for two years, all Black & White, and had a number of photos exhibited in student shows. As life took me many places, meandering if you will, I continued shooting as a hobbyist at best, and sadly had to sell my 35mm SLR to help pay rent. In Montreal, I bought my second camera, which enabled my best period of work, however minimal. But again I had to sell the camera when times got tough. Now more financially stable, third time is charmed by my first Digital SLR. I'm not sure what type of shooting I will focus on- mostly did urban still life in the past- but I think I would like to try my hand more at candid portraiture.

Oh right, as for the connection to film editing, shooting photos eventually led to shooting video, which in turn led to video editing. And the rest is history, in the making.
