as well as rapid lens exchange onto tripod head |

Most of my images are
created using Fujichrome Velvia 50 speed slide film but for most
night, animal and people shots I use Fujchrome Provia 100 speed slide
film |

“The Sun shines as crystal, which reflects its splendor
from the fire of the World
and so reflecteth its light upon us; so that the body of
fire, which is celestial, hath
a resemblance in the Sun, and reflecting from its own
light, from itself upon the
Sun as upon a glass, and this we call the Sun”
– Plutarch, High
Priest of the Oracle of Delphi –
