About me[edit]

I've uploaded more than two thousand self-created images. Most were created digitally, but some are scans of my slide archives dating back to the 1970s. Most of my work has been in architecture, particularly relating to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. I've been working to identify and upload public-domain images to help illustrate articles.

I understand French fairly well (to fr-2 level), but I don't write French well, so I'm keeping the Babel to fr-1.

I mainly use a Canon 5Ds, a Canon 6D and a Canon 7D Mk II. Lenses include EF 17-40, EF 24-105, EF 100 macro, EF 40 STM and EF 100-400. I recently acquired a Canon TS-E 24mm II tilt-shift lens and am learning how to use it. When I have the time I scan my old slides and film with a Nikon ED5000 film scanner. I mostly use Photoshop CC for post-processing. Now-retired cameras include a Canon 400D (which shot three of my featured pictures), a Canon 7D and a variety of compact cameras.
