---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I live in central upstate New York, U.S., with my husband Mike.  Mike gave me my first digital camera (a Sony Mavica) as a gift for my birthday in December 2003; and then for my birthday a year later he gave me the Nikon D70.  In March 2006 I sold the D70 and purchased the Nikon D2X.  The D2X is the camera I use most of the time, although I also have acquired a Nikon D90 mainly for back-up and for use in certain conditions.

Many years ago, while a student at university, I took several photography classes and bought my first film camera, a Pentax K1000, and learned to develop black and white photos in the darkroom.

Unfortunately, in the intervening years it just wasn't possible for me to pursue photography.  But my husband's gift has reignited the old flame -- hence, this website.

For those interested in the technical side of things, I shoot exclusively in RAW format and do all post-processing work in Photoshop CS2.  At the present time I use the following lenses:
 

  • AF-S DX Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G zoom
  • AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR zoom
  • AF-S VR Nikkor ED 200-400mm f/4G IF zoom
  • AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D
  • Nikkor 50mm 1.8.


The Archives page contains a thumbnail of almost every photo on the site grouped into subject categories to make it easier for visitors to get an overview of what's here.  If you've taken a look around, you'll see that there is no overall theme with respect to the photos I post, just whatever happens to strike my fancy and those shots that I like, for one reason or another.  I post rather haphazardly, not on a daily basis, so I hope you'll come back often to see what's new.

Comments and/or critiques are always welcome.  I can be contacted via email at judithpolakoff@yahoo.com.

Thank you very much for visiting!
