These days, when asked "What do you do," I reply “I’m an artist.”
And the thing that allows me to make such a bold statement as “I am an artist” is that with art, as I see it, achievement isn’t a prerequisite. I don’t have to have awards, or have sold something, or have an exhibit. I don’t even have to be good in the eyes of others.
I like my art and I am happy to share some of it with you here.
and I find it interesting to see the different approaches the many manufacturers have had toward a single goal: shooting good photographs.
So bring ‘em on.
Join me on my quest to find interesting cameras, buy them, stick some film in them, and shoot them…then write about it. And then I sell them, or give them away, keeping only a select few that I want to shoot again and again.
I like taking photos of old stuff with old cameras. I like old cars. I like road trips. From that, the simple formula for Kooky’s Road Trip was developed. I took too many trips to count, some short, some epic. I drove an AMC Rambler, a Mazda RX-7, a VW Rabbit Pickup, a VW Beetle, an old Ford F-150, and more. And along the way I shot old Canons, Nikons, Minoltas, Pentaxes, Rolleiflexes, Sears, Leica, and too many others to list…and too many rolls of film to count.
And always, the recurring theme of Kooky’s Road Trip is “This is Exactly Where I AM Supposed to Be Right Now.”
In the process of pulling together some photos for this website, I realized that I’ve taken a lot of photos over the years. I think I’ve lost more than I have, too. Sadly, I don’t have old film shots from years ago and somewhere along the way, it seems some digital files have also disappeared. I’m hoping they are on an old external hard drive somewhere.But for today, this is enough.
I present here photos that I like enough to hang on my walls.
