  Bio   As it counts for more photographers, my life can be separated in two: the analog and the current digital photography era. To this day I’m still approaching photography regarding the analog techniques. But let me start at the beginning. My first serious camera was the world famous Praktica, produced in communist Eastern Germany. At that time I thought it was a serious camera. It was a splendid camera to learn about photography. I used both color and black and white film alternately. After some years I started developing the… Read More

Thomas Woods – Featured IPA member

Bio   I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota as the son of a WWII veteran of Colorado’s U.S. Army Tenth Mountain Division.  As a consequence, my older brother Bob and I spent a lot of time outdoors with our father, skiing, hiking and so on, all year round. I was not a big fan of my father’s favorite pastime of “bushwhacking” on skis or hiking through the woods or mountains all day long off-trail.  As a young boy, I have a vivid memory of hundreds of jackrabbits running across the highway… Read More

The problem is In my case it’s actually true – but it just took me a long time to realise it. I recently discovered a shot of me taking a selfie- I was probably around 7/8 years old. I think the camera is a 35mm Chinon rangefinder camera. My folks used this for all the family pics for years. It had a fixed lens – but was pretty much all manual.  I… Read More
