The Cerebral Construct: A Bridge

Old Yellowstone Highway bridge. Douglas, Wyoming.

Where art thou?

I live in Casper, a small city of about 60,000 located in central Wyoming. You can't go much further under the radar than here, but Casper is a little gem on the high plains that's quickly evolving from a gritty oil town to a more cosmopolitan small city.

Wyoming is the ninth largest state in the Union (it's bigger than Oregon in land area at 97,820 sq miles (253,300 km²)) and is the least-populated. Mountains, buttes, lakes, plains, desert - it's all here and it's a vast, awe-inspiring place to explore.

Toys

Ever since I was a kid, I've played around with cameras. From Instamatics to Polaroids, through to my first SLR (a Minolta x700) and 2-1/4 (Mamiya C330 Pro) and now digital, it's been a fun journey with a lens by my side.

I studied political science at the University of Iowa. While there, I worked as a student photographer within the hospital's Internal Medicine Department. That was a trip documenting various procedures. I was very darkroom - focused, working with Cibachrome, b&w and infrared. I even aquired my own darkroom setup with a vintage Beseler motor-driven monster. Ah, the good ole' days!

For years, my workhorses were my Nikon FE and my Ricoh KR-5 Super - both still proudly displayed, but sadly idle.

Just bought a new camera, the Nikon D3300. Getting used to the differences between it and my old Olympus, but so far, it's a great camera!
