Loverly photography

I found this site the other day, of a photographer in San Francisco called Patrick Roddie. He takes some amazing photos, often quite straightforward, but all the same clear and with a measured feeling. Just like Your Kind of Place, he themes the photos into time, or subject. This is the kind of photography I would love to emulate.

"I started shooting when I was twelve years old, first with a box Brownie, then a half-frame Olympus Trip. If you'll excuse the pun, something just "clicked:" I somehow understood light, composition and the "moment" from the start and those early pictures still look pretty good, IMHO. I haven't been able to stop since - I don't have much choice in the matter.

Training: Entirely self-taught, I've had no formal training in photography, preferring to make my own mistakes, experiment and burn through film. Only when I'm really stuck will I reluctantly open the manual. Don't try this at home."
