I started out as a painter. Actually, if you want to get real specific I started out with graphite as an illustrator. Then I started working with acrylic. Then mixed media. Then as a fluke (required credit) I took a photography class in HS. I loved it. Went to RIT to learn as much as I could. Worked as a professional photographer after graduation. Freelanced. Moved into other areas of design and user experience. I shoot mostly digital with my Canon kit. I also shoot Polaroid, and am in the process of scanning over 1,000 35mm negatives from a South West trip I took many years ago to be hosted on southwestproject.com. I have a flickr Pro account, FB.com photo page, multiple twitpic pages, but this site is home to my personal favorite images :: Andrew DoakTumblr (3.0; @flawlessphoto)http://flawlessphoto.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx4cegRky61qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>New Years Eve, 2011</p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/15123784871http://flawlessphoto.com/post/15123784871Sun, 01 Jan 2012 07:08:40 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luxzi1yAlu1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My daughters 8th birthday party celebration (ice cream cake, of course)</p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/13046710951http://flawlessphoto.com/post/13046710951Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:37:13 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltsm02mX3M1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h2 style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;">Pair of dogs</h2> Lucifer VI Lens, BlacKeys B+W Film, No Flash, Taken with <a href="http://hipstamaticapp.com">Hipstamatic</a></p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/12042822030http://flawlessphoto.com/post/12042822030Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:24:02 -0400HipstamaticLucifer VI LensBlacKeys B+W FilmNo Flash<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpkr7ev2lH1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Herd of Elk moving away from an approaching storm</p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/8612033645http://flawlessphoto.com/post/8612033645Sun, 07 Aug 2011 16:21:14 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp7j2xYtFI1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h2 style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;">Thirsty Hummingbird</h2> Libatique 73 Lens, Ina’s 1969 Film, No Flash, Taken with <a href="http://hipstamaticapp.com">Hipstamatic</a></p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/8301754331http://flawlessphoto.com/post/8301754331Sun, 31 Jul 2011 12:56:57 -0400HipstamaticLibatique 73 LensIna's 1969 FilmNo Flash<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp7hpaBbqY1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>That is a turtle hiding under that log (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">Instagram</a> at Butterfly Palace)</p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/8300894882http://flawlessphoto.com/post/8300894882Sun, 31 Jul 2011 12:27:10 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnx4fyHafI1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h2 style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;">OC, MD Trip</h2> John S Lens, Pistil Film, No Flash, Taken with <a href="http://hipstamaticapp.com">Hipstamatic</a></p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/7304001330http://flawlessphoto.com/post/7304001330Wed, 06 Jul 2011 11:31:10 -0400HipstamaticJohn S LensPistil FilmNo Flash<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnx4e7d9ZY1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h2 style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;">Crab Feast Remains</h2> John S Lens, Pistil Film, No Flash, Taken with <a href="http://hipstamaticapp.com">Hipstamatic</a></p>http://flawlessphoto.com/post/7303974093http://flawlessphoto.com/post/7303974093Wed, 06 Jul 2011 11:30:07 -0400HipstamaticJohn S LensPistil FilmNo Flash<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmsjxbIrgx1qzkg84o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I love tractors.
