Currently based in Portland, Oregon, Ben is a member of The Portland Darkroom, a member-supported community space for the practice of analog photography whose mission is to keep film photography alive and accessible in Portland. He enjoys variety and utilizes many formats and mediums: from 110 subminiature to 4 x 5 large format, color and black-and-white, silver gelatin and archival inkjet, negative and positive film. He is a jack of all trades, master of none. In past lives he was a hardcore birder (457 species on his life list) and mountain/ultra/trail runner (89 races on Ultrasignup). Professionally, he is a data nerd.
