about the photographer

Born and raised in the quiet city of Minneapolis, Tim the youngster found creative outlets in drawing and painting.

Ever since picking up his first digital camera in 2002, however, photography has become the perfect outlet for for his creative expression; it affords him the opportunity to show the world exactly how he views it. His pictures are an extension of his eyes into the world.

Also, being deaf, Tim finds it interesting that photography reflects the deaf worldview to everyone. Visuals without sound. Utterly silent, the images speak for themselves.

what do i shoot with?

while i do subscribe to the notion that taking good pictures largely depends on the skill of the photographer, to a lesser extent, the equipment used, and how it is used does have an impact on the work. and i also get many inquiries via email about what i shoot with, so here, without much further ado:

primary shooting combo

Quite possibly the best available-light combination, the Canon 5D and Canon EF 35mm 1.4L

other lens i use

Canon EF 16-35L, Canon EF 50 1.4, Sigma 12-24 4.5-5.6 EX
