If you are an interested photographer, you might be wondering what kind of gear that I shoot with.
For most of my work I am shooting Nikon. I love Nikon. I have worked a little with other camera makers, and at this point I am very pleased with what Nikon is producing! I love Nikon glass: it makes some fantastic images. Also I love the way the cameras feel in my hand.
I am shooting with one of the current best cameras in the industry (just wait a few months, right), and with it I am making images that I love. So, all around, I really enjoy Nikon and highly recommend them for digital capture.
I have also begun to work with several kinds of film and I will include that information here too.
Camera Bodies:
Digital: 2 Nikon D700 bodies

Bags:
I have several, but the main bag is the Think Tank Urban disguise. I bought this as a “lens bag” and got it home and realized it was my everything bag. I also have one of their travel rolling cases: the Airport Air Stream. Such good bags!
Please feel free to contact me with questions on any of the above.
Cheers
