BIO: David A Peterson / Born and raised in Montana. Moved to San Francisco and slowly, on my own, developed my art. Using 35mm photography as my main format and working in Photoshop. Attended many art gallery shows to extend my unknown possibilities. My photo subjects often show-up unexpectedly, my greatest art moment.
I have used a digital camera, but my preference is yet for film and film is a big seller in the camera photo market today.
