Welcome to Speterman Photoblog!

Peter Chow is a longtime creative on the Mac with more than a decade of web & print design experience. Now the Creative Director at his own award-winning boutique interactive design agency, Moophstudios.

Pete's love all things Apple ensured that his studio is equipped with the latest Mac hardware as the platform of choice. He has also began delving into apps development for the iPhone, which happens to be his favorite smartphone.

In his spare time, he plays with photography on his Canon gears. He started many many moons ago on a Minolta X700 as his first film SLR (an old favorite), going through many upgrades from Minolta (Dynax auto focus 35mm film SLR) to Nikon F3 before hanging up his lens cap for a break from the art.

In 2007, he entered into the digital realm when he bought his first Digital SLR (EOS 400D), before upgrading to the 50D and finally settling comfortably on the amazing EOS 5D MkII. Besides the prime EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, his other two lenses are L-Series zooms (EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM & EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM). He does prefer natural light than artificial.

Photography is Pete's passion and hobby when he gets time to indulge. He is currently a student with the New York Institute of Photography and a non-professional photographer, but takes great pride in his art and being inspired by the many wonderful work out there by pros and non-pros alike.

This is his personal photoblog under the 'Speterman Photography' moniker and his space to share his views on photography in general and his art in particular.

Enjoy!
