About Me
- Gerard Garcia
- Stealing an eight dollar camera from the supermarket that I worked for back in High School is not my proudest moment as a teenager, however, it is the event that launched me into a lifelong obsession with photography. That obsession led to a formal education in photography to follow with many years of professional work in and around the New York City photo industry. That first camera was a Chinon 110 film cartridge style. From there I bought (yes, I said bought) my first 35mm Nikon, after that I dabbled in medium format and then eventually purchased a 4x5 view camera. While transitioning into the digital era I continue to use Nikon for 35mm, but I am also experimenting with the camera in my iPhone, which actually gives me the same spontaneity, but slightly better quality as the eight dollar 110 camera I had in High School. Aside from the spontaneity, the many applications allow for an endless variety of creative options. My images are mostly about where we live and work - our architectural environment and our commute to and from these places.
