I am an amateur shutterbug.

I play with three cameras, the Canon 400D and the Canon G9, and most recently the NikonD40. My daily camera is the Canon G9. I chose it because I can bring it anywhere, it's flexible for different kinds of use and different types of photographs (without the need for different lenses), and it looks like an old rangefinder but takes wonderful shots.

I love documenting the daily events of life.... the streets, the people, the landscape, and whatever in between. My main goal is to master the art of capturing portraits and emotion.

I use the following for my 400D:

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (kit lens)

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM (my Prime lens for lowlight)

Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM (my travel lens)

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (daily lens for my 400D)

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM (wide angle!! yeah!)

Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash (also with the G9)

Canon 58mm UV Haze Filter

Canon 58mm CPL Filter

and the following for my Nikon D40:

Nikkor DX AFS 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 G II

Nikkor 55-200mm VR

Sooner or later my 400D will be gone and will be replaced by the new Canon 50D.

The world is the nice playground, capture the scene! =)
