    Re: Photographyreview: The People

    Name:
    Matt Stanton

    Meaning of handle (if it's not obvious):
    In addition to getting into the rather expensive hobby of photography, I am also sinking too much money into Amateur Radio. My call sign is N0BOX, which doesn't seem to be taken on any forum sites!

    Location:
    Des Moines, IA... the corniest place on the planet. Probably a bad place to be for photography, unless you find 'flat' pretty. I'm actually 'from' northeast Tennessee, so I have a hard time finding much beauty in the landscape here.

    Born:
    Northeast Tennessee, near Bristol TN/VA

    Ethnicity:
    I'm also "White as white can be", like the OP. Genetically, I am a fourth Irish and a fourth Hungarian, with the remaining half a swirl of other stuff. I guess I'm pretty much just generic American.

    Marriage/Family:
    I'm perfectly available to any beautiful single ladies!

    Occupation:
    I was doing Graphic Design, in the form of Computer Illustration (Adobe Illustrator) for Vinyl Signage, Screen Printing, and Embroidery. Unfortunately, I had a car accident that has left me on disability or the time being.

    Religious affiliation (if any):
    I grew up Catholic, but I have studied many faiths and would describe myself as more of a Taoist than anything. I think limiting yourself to any one religion is silly when most of them teach us how to live peacefully with each other, so I try to take all the good I can learn about all religions in to account when making my own decisions.

    Other hobbies:
    Computer stuff of any sort (programming, server administration, gaming, etc), Amateur Radio

    How long I have been a photographer:
    I'm going to say for the past 2 months. Before that I would snap a picture of a friend or place for the sake of memory, but only for the past couple of months have I been paying attention to what it really takes to capture exactly what it is that an image means to me.

    First "real" camera:
    Sony Alpha NEX-5N

    How I found Photographyreview.com:
    I was just looking for a "community", rather than a review site with a forum, and came across this site via Google.

    Favorite subjects:
    Sky, Mountains, Forest, Moon, and Pets.

    Current Gear:
    -- Cameras --
    Sony Alpha NEX-5N
    Minolta Maxxum 5000 AF
    -- Lenses --
    Sony SEL1855 (kit lens)
    Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7
    Sigma 29-70mm AF Zoom for Minolta
    Pro 70-210mm AF Zoom for Minolta
    Fotasy 35mm f/1.7 CCTV lens
    -- Lens Adapters --
    Sony Alpha LA-EA2 A to E mount adapter
    Fotodoix MD-NEX adapter
    Fotasy C-NEX adapter

    What I am trying to accomplish with my photography:
    Really I am just "playing around" right now. I am having fun experimenting with lenses and adapters... manual and automatic settings... places, people, and things... Hopefully some day I'll have things worked out so that I know how to tell a definite story with an image, so that when a person sees it they know exactly what I was trying to point out.

    At the moment, I just haven't taken any pictures that are anything more than just experiments. Mostly pictures of my cat and things around the house.
