Adam Michaelson. How can I put it? I’ve been at this game for a while now and there’s no telling when my love for the art will fade. Hell, it never will – and I say that with confidence.
I got my start in photography with my mom’s old Olympus OM-1, a real simple 35mm SLR. Those were the days. Tri-X 400 and Ilford Ultra 100 were my lifeblood.
My first digital SLR was a hefty priced Nikon D70. This camera has taught me everything I know, and I owe it my life. At somewhere around 35,000 exposures, that bad boy is still going strong.
I spent my freshman year of college (’06-’07) at Rochester Institute of Technology. You can insert a cliche about not knowing what you have until you casually toss it aside. The education I got in one year there blew my mind – so much in fact that I decided Rochester was not the best setting for my Long Island born and raised blood. I’m now at Stony Brook University as one of the few students in the undergraduate art program. I have a scheduled release date of May 2010, and I intend to meet that mark and carry on my way to my future.
