My family and I are based in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
I work as a patent attorney with a large law firm here in Chicago. MikesRightBrain is my attempt to explore and nurture a lifelong fascination with photography.

I started shooting and developing my own film before high school, with my trusty Canon A-1 and a Mamiya RB67. In college my Canon was stolen and I moved to a T-70 and a Nikon F mount that served me well through law school. As digital cameras began to evolve a few years later, I adopted early since our small apartment--by that time overrun with children--didn’t have enough space for a darkroom and smelly chemicals. I ran around then with a Kodak DC280 and began to experiment with dSLRs and some of my old lenses. New equipment has made things much more interesting.
Some kind of camera always accompanies me these days, whether it’s a compact Nokia phone-cam or the tank-like Nikon D2X. I most enjoy taking portraits and pictures of people (especially my children), but architecture and various minutiae interest me very much lately. My work requires me to travel often, and I try to find interesting images wherever I am.
