Hi everyone. My name's Phil. I'm a recent university graduate who's been shooting as an enthusiast for about a year and a half now. I got my first camera when my fiancée (now wife) took me to Ireland. I spent the next summer second shooting weddings and doing the odd job here and there, and last fall I sold all my Canon stuff and got an X-T1 with the 35 1.4. I was having AF problems with my 70D and was looking into upgrading to the 6D, but since I can only afford one camera right now, I wasn't thrilled about the idea of pulling a full frame DSLR out at a restaurant or pub just for fun snapshots. I took the plunge with Fuji and no regrets. I'm not trying to pursue a career in photography, but I'd love to find a career that will let me get involved with photography now and then.
 
I currently use a gripped X-T1 with the 18, 23, and 35. I'm hoping to add the 14 and either the 56 or 90, and eventually maybe a GS X-T1, so I can leave my black one gripped for "serious" work and use the GS as my everyday camera.

Hi everyone,
 
Just finished my MFA in Electronic and Time Based Art at Purdue University. I first picked up a "real" camera a little over a year ago when I bought my Fuji X-T1, so I've still got a lot to learn. I shoot exclusively with that. My favorite lenses are the XF 23mm, 35mm, and 10-24mm, but I do use the XF 27mm and 18-135mm WR sometimes and have three vintage Helios 44-2 f/2 58mm lenses, one of which is modified with a reversed front element. 
 
Black and white is most intriguing to me in terms of my own work, but I enjoy good photography in all forms. I really like shooting landscape/nature and architecture, but I'm an equal opportunity photographer, I'll shoot anything that is interesting at any given moment. 
 
I have a photo blog that I usually update twice per day, but will eventually move to once a day when I get through my work from last year.

It would be nice to know a little bit more about other members so perhaps those who are willing could post here.
 
I'll start. I'm olli, orginally from Northern Ireland, now a serial expat, currently located in Pasay City, part of Metro Manila in the Philippines. I've been shooting seriously since around 2008 with a variety of cameras but switched to Fuji just over six months ago. I have the X-E2 with 18-55, 55-200, 23 and 35 lenses. I describe my kind of photography as 'urban documentary', which means I wander around the streets taking pictures of things. I have a website at photography by olli and I photoblog at Manila Days.
 
Looking forward to hearing from more members.
