Your Bio

I've always enjoyed taking pictures throughout my life, from a toy Bugs Bunny camera I got as a child, to the modern Nikon digital SLR models. I'm a fan of Nikon cameras and I currently shoot with the following equipment:

Nikon:

Nikon D300
Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8G AF-S ED N. Wide angle zoom ranging from superwide to wide angle, with all the bells and whistles.
Nikkor 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G AF kit lens, a great all-around lens...you get wide angle as well as decent tele range from this one, along with all the benefits imparted by the DX, IF, and ED designations.
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF Available-light photography lens.
Nikkor 55mm AI-s Micro f/2.8 for macro photography.
Nikon SB-600 speedlight
Lowepro Mini Trekker AW to house all of this stuff.
Nikon Photomic F (1962) and Weston Master III Light Meter.

I have also shot with the legendary Holga 120S and Ilford HP5 400 Black & White film.

Before the Nikon, I shot with one of the first really good consumer digital cameras, the Kodak DC260 which I got back in 1998 for the princely sum of $1000 at CompUSA. This is before most people really knew what digital cameras were. My childhood time around photography involved various plastic Instamatic 126 (like the Bugs Bunny) and 110 toy cameras with their plastic-fantastic lenses (remember those blue FlashCubes?) Back then I'd shoot a cartridge (usually pretty quickly) and then drop it off at the Fotomat hut, and eagerly wait the 3-7 days to get the resulting pictures back. We've come a long ways from that.

My photography activities are currently focused in stock photography. Most recently, I've taken an interest in food as a subject matter for my photos, but I still enjoy using wide-angle lenses to capture cityscapes and natural landscapes. I enjoy capturing the New England autumn's colors and I look forward to capturing spring and summer with such things as plant, insect and flower macros.

I am continually adding to these galleries, so feel free to return here. If by chance you're interested in purchasing or using one of these shots, my email is therion256 [ at ] yahoo [ dot ] com.

Q: Why do you call yourself Therion and what is a "therion"? A: I took up the pseudonym "Therion" for my use in the Internet medium, based upon the name of a Celtic Frost all-time favorite album named To Mega Therion. The word "therion" itself is a Greek word (θηρίον) for "beast."
