I've been shooting with a digital camera for about 2 years now. I began shooting darkroom 4 years ago, but it became much too difficult to process film and create prints. So, I figured (although I wasn't exactly thrilled to be working with computers) I might as well start shooting digital. I usually shoot and then post-process in Photoshop. My work is a lot more accessible now, so I suppose that's the biggest plus.
A lot of photographers I know call themselves "conceptual photographers". I've never really understood the label. I do know that the majority of my photos come from random, spontaneous inspirations. I like pushing boundaries of beauty. I like shooting things that aren't exactly "pretty" or "normal". Most of my photos are a bit unflattering. But I like when things look a bit off or uncomfortable or strange -- that's what keeps them interesting.
