The man:
Hi, I'm Rob. I take pictures, and I write, but I am neither a writer nor a photographer. These are merely hobbies. They're my creative outlets. I learned a long time ago that it's better to tinker with creative outlets than electrical outlets. I am also, obviously, not an electrician. I live in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon, and that's where the vast majority of the pictures on this site were taken.
The photos:
As of November 2011, my main camera is a Sony a77 SLT, with a Sony 18-250mm telephoto lens and a Tamron 90mm Macro. Prior to that, I shot with various Nikons (most recently, a D7000, a D90 before that, and before I had any idea what I was doing, a Nikon D50). I also shoot with my iPhone 4, and I'll never cease to be amazed by the photos I can get out of that thing. I mean, really. It's a phone. A PHONE. And, finally, I have a 1972 Yashica TL-Electro which I've lovingly named Ella.
The backend:
Is it crass if I admit that I enjoy a nice backend? Awe yeah! Sadly, this site doesn't have a nice backend. The "words" half of twenty200 is built on top of an intentionally outdated version of Movable Type that I absolutely refuse to update, as later versions of the platform have become bloated and buggy. The "photos" half of the site is a mixture of jQuery/JSON/CSS and various other acronyms that work together to pull images and their corresponding info from my flickr photostream and display them here in a seemingly endless scrolling stream.
