A Beginning

Well, this is one beginning. A first step onto the internet, hopefully to be followed by many more.

To say a brief bit about myself, I go by the name Grey, I am highly interested in photography. Although I am starting out, I feel confident in my skills as a photographer. I shoot with a Nikon D200 and, occasionally, with a Nikon FM2. I use a few different lenses in various sizes, and prefer to rely on natural lighting and my own ability to manipulate said light than relying on speed lights, flashbulbs, or hot lights. I only use a 50mm lens with the FM2. I do little to no post-processing, and prefer shooting in greyscale to shooting full colour.

My interest in shooting stems mainly from my father -- an artist and former senior designer at a number of museums located in Ottawa. My love of the arts has also driven me to take up photography, as it allows me to communicate my ideas in more than simply words.

I enjoy shooting contrasts between natural and manufactured objects, isolations and general nature. I am, however, looking to expand my repertoire to cover many more subjects.
