CRAIG SNYDER > Photographer



Writer & Poet \| Photographer Ography \| Punk Archives PHOTOGRAPHER My early, more serious attempts at photography began with a Canon FTb and an untold number of rolls of Kodak Tri-X 35mm film. Most of this beginning work falls into the category of photojournalism, but as time came to pass I became more interested in landscapes and cityscapes, the abstract and the temporal. With the arrival of digital technology, this shifted me further into this area of play. Some of what I shoot though, could still be considered photojournalism. There are no fine lines between anything, and the arrival of high-quality smartphone cameras such as the Apple iPhone now blur the disctinctions between camera and phone, as well as photographer and subject.
