About
Hello and thanks for visiting.
My name is Jennifer Farley and I am a designer, instructor and keen photographer. I’ve been taking pictures since about age 7 when I got my first camera - a little plastic Hanimex which used 110 mm film. I moved on from there to another plastic automatic camera - this time with 35mm. After much saving, I got myself my first SLR when I was in college - a Minolta 300 - and along with the move to SLR photography, I started doing some black and white photography processing, mostly with the help of my father, another keen photographer who spent years developing his own films and pictures.
Now of course, the world is a digital place and I use and Olympus E300 with a few different lenses. I still love Black and White, but now I “develop” in the digital darkroom of Photoshop, which I also teach. I always have a Canon sureshot in my handbag for those quick shots, although I have so much junk in my bag it has to fight for space with lip balm, unpaid bills and more.
Photoshop is a huge part of my life, both professionally and for fun. I’m also using Corel Painter quite a bit for caricatures and illustration.
This site - jenniferfarley.info has been around in various guises for about 8 years. That’s when I bought my first domain name for myself. It started as a static site of photographs and then I discovered blogger and thought it was THE business. THEN I discovered wordpress finally moved my posts over from blogger and this is where I am today. Hope you like the pics and please feel free to drop me a line.
