SaturnNyne
I joined in May of 2004 but have been lurking since probably 2002.
I'm a retired pirate (yar). During my most active period on Head-Fi (2004 to 2007) I worked as a catalog editor for Dead Men Tell No Tales, the world's largest online retailer and wholesaler of pirate merchandise.
Since 2013 I've served as photographer for the Pewter Plough Playhouse, a small 501c3 non-profit community theatre in Cambria, CA, now doing business as By-the-Sea Productions in Morro Bay since 2017.
On my own time I shoot personal work in the Group f/64 tradition, heavily influenced by Edward Weston, Brett Weston, Wynn Bullock, and Ansel.
