My name is Patrick Cooper and I have a number of interests such as sandboarding, snowboarding, scuba diving and dirtsurfing. Two interests that I am particularly passionate about are photography and filmmaking which will make up the bulk of my blogging content. I started off with still photography many years ago and ventured into filmmaking later.
The majority of my photography is self taught and I have learned a lot from various sources of knowledge such as books, magazines as well as going out shooting and experimenting with my cameras. When I first entered the world of photography, film was readily available and was the medium of choice for everybody, rich and poor alike. Years later, digital entered the scene and it seemed like most people jumped on to that bandwagon rather enthusiastically. Although I was a little late in adopting digital, I have never abandoned film. I think that both film and digital can be useful tools when used in the right situation.
