Scientist, researcher, and educator by day and night, and photographer whenever I get the chance. Primary interests include macro, nature, candid, and abstract photography, and primary targets include insects, animals, flowers, my four-year-old, and various "scapes" (landscapes, seascapes, cloudscapes). In the process of migrating from a Canon Rebel XTi to a Canon EOS 7D. My absolute favorite lens is the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM macro, but I also use an EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM and an EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.
