My Equipment

Personally, I don’t think it makes a difference what you use. the equipment is just a tool. How you use it is what makes the tool work.

While the equipment doesn’t make the photographer, it does help capture the moment. And it’s always fun to talk about what you are using. Having said that, I am a Nikon shooter, but only because my friend, who sold me my first camera, is also a Nikon shooter. Because we vacation together, it made sense to use Nikon. That and he sold me one.

Having said that, here is a list of my equipment. I intend to periodically review different pieces of my kit.
