Your Bio

I fell in love with photography when I was 12. I came home from summer school one day and asked my father how to use his twin-lens Rollie and hand held light meter. I've been hooked since.

I love color, but I'm shooting mostly people these days. I like shooting with a shorter lens to get closer, and I don't like the compression of longer lenses. I'm also shooting a lot with a simple lighting set up with one off camera flash.

These days I'm shooting with a Nikon D200. I've owed 6 digitals, this is my very favorite. You'll also see posts from my first digicam a Canon G1. The G1 was a very good camera too.

Cheers!

Brian

Sarah Horowitz 1964 - 2008 : Sarah Horowitz passed away on March 6th, 2008, the day the first image of this set was published in the cover of www.nextbook.com, a well regarded Jewish thought publication. I knew Sarah since 2000, where we meet at Makor Or and Congregation Beth Sholom in San Francisco. I can't even begin to convey what a bright and funny person Sarah was. We often debated politics after Shabbat services. You can see the interview that was published with the first photo of this set at http://www.nextbook.org/cultural/feature.html?id=797&page=1 You can also read the eulgugy from her father David Horowitz at http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=E861DD69-3331-4159-B3A5-758C86014A24
