Stephanie Brim
Mental Experimental.
I just realized that I've just jumped right in and haven't bothered introducing myself so that you all get an idea of who I am. Silly me. Bad.
My name is Stephanie Brim. I'm 21 years old for about another month. I'm a hopefully budding and growing photographer whose body resides in Iowa and whose heart resides somewhere east of the Mississippi toward The Big Apple. I'm soon to be a college student, a hotel front desk clerk, and a pretty avid photographer.
I got my start quite a long time ago when my sister got an old plastic 35mm camera and I decided that it would be cool to try it out. It was then that I found something out: I sucked. After that, I vowed that I would eventually become a hell of a lot better than I was. I lost interest shortly after, being a young child, and got it back again when I bought a cheap digital camera and started taking texture/object stock photos. I found that I hated the results from digital cameras and, after going through three of them, decided to move my arsenal of photographic equipment completely to film.
I have good and bad experiences with photography. Not all my photos turn out as I've planned. Due to my now completely traditionalist point of view, I try to do as little correction to my photos as possible, but I do crop to make them look the best they can. The next thing I plan to experience in full is developing my own film, a project which I'm sure will make me love film photography all the more because I love getting my hands dirty even in the figurative sense.
I'm taking my time and taking lots of photos, trying to capture those moments that may otherwise be lost. I love street photography, but also am very interested in nude and still life photography. I'm also a very avid stock photographer in most respects and I love taking photos of old, abandoned buildings and other objects with interesting stories and textures.
Due to the recent move to film, I have two cameras: a Nikon FE and a Canonet 28. Both cameras get equal use. The Nikon is fitted with the Very Nice Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI, one of the best they ever made. I aspire to, someday, owning a Leica kit as I prefer rangefinder focusing to the SLR.
I think that's about it. I'm glad to be here and I hope I learn a lot of things I didn't know. You guys have already been so helpful already that I can't thank you enough!
