Good morning to you all,
I am Bill, ocean sailing is my passion, and I am an American living in the Munich area. I moved here 11 years ago from one of the most beautiful places in the US, Marblehead MA. I started with Photography in high school and loved night shots. I grew up in the southern mid-west where there are lots of neon signs from the 30's. One of the inspirations from this time was a shot I had seen of the Atlas Insurance neon sign in down town Tulsa that was shot at night after a rain storm. The reflection off of the street gave an interesting mirror image of the sign and I still remember this 30 years later. After high school I dropped the hobby until last year when I bought a Nikon D80 and a Manfrotto tripod. This kicked off my old hobby and I am now focusing on mastering black and white nude photography. I find the art form part of this type of shooting to be stunning, which kicked of the interest. I also shoot black and white architecture and in Europe we have some of the worlds best. I found this website a year ago and I read it a few times a week.
Gear - Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-135, Nikkor 85 1:18, Manfrotto tripod, B&W filters, Photoshop
