A photo and lighting place! Here I'll post some stuff I've shot in the process of learning.

Mostly, I shoot with: Nikon D700 or my NEW D7000,

Sigma lenses:
* 70-200mm f/2.8 HSM-II (sports & portrait - SHARP!)
* 24-70mm f/2.8 HSM (my fave),
* 105mm EX macro (VERY sharp!), &
* My new 12-24mm EX HSM (WIDE!).
Other:
* Nikkor 70-300 f/4-5.6 VR HSM (pretty cheap, disposable, pretty sharp out to 200mm and a long reach with a crop frame),
* Nikkor 70-210mm f/4 (light and compact, but not
as sharp as the Sigma 70-200 EX),
* Nikkor 60mm micro (UBER SHARP LIKE THE SIGMA 105 EX).

Flash stuff:
* Nikon SB800 (2, with ttl cord),
* 4 Nikon SB-25/26s (old, manual, reliable, nice),
* 6 ancient Sunpak 611 flashes (old, manual, reliable, nice) with big SLA battery packs for studio, tabletop macro and portraits (GN=168 = lotsa light for a $50 flash).

And tons of stands, umbrellas, soft-boxes, mounts hot & cold shoes, cords, pocket wizard radio triggers, reflectors, scrims, backdrops, adapters, snoots, grids, batteries , chargers, bags & cases, gewgaws, gimcracks, whatchamacallits, doohickeys, thingamajigs, whatnots, widgets, et cetera.

I love to shoot out on the street, but the technical aspects of photography/lighting are fascinating - and sometimes vexing. I am fortunate to shoot with motivated and inquisitive photographers.

I am available for portraits, senior photos & product photography. evenings and weekends.

Commercially printed copies (up to 24" x 30" of most photos seen here are available on high quality paper for framing.
