"Very often, a photographer will find a niche where their photos fit and they seldom if ever traverse into another genre. Some only do  portraiture, some only landscapes, some only nature. I have found that beauty can be found in the greys of concrete gardens or walking through a small town in Texas as well as the sweeping landscapes of the open ranges." R.A.Raia

About the Images

Many of my black & white images were captured using film cameras. Early in my life I used Pentax Spotmatics and a Nikon S 35mm Rangefinder. In the early 1980s I switched to Canon equipment and later on Two View included a Pentax 6x7 and a Leica SLR. Presently I use a Nikon D80 with various Nikon lenses.
