Andrew Sharpe

I am a computer engineer in Palo Alto, California, USA. I photograph using a modern DSLR with old manual 40 to 50-year-old lenses, a tripod and an old spotmeter; this slows down the process and enables it to become meditative and focused, similar to the experience of some medium and large format photography. My photographs are in black and white because color is a strong distraction when concentrating on form, pattern and texture. My work tends toward natural abstracts, but the interplay of forms everywhere fascinates me.
