Hi there!

I suppose since you're here, I should share just a bit... :)

Photography is...

a way to capture feelings, emotions, moments

a way to show how things looked when you were there

... or to see things that you didn't (or couldn't) see while you were there

a way to create, to inspire, to be inspired

FUN!

Thanks to all the wonderful photographers here (on Flickr). I frequently find myself impressed, inspired, and awed by your work. Sometimes you make me smile, giggle, and even laugh out loud. You also feed and nourish my NAS (not sure that's a good thing tho).

My current toys:

Nikon D700

Nikon D300

Nikon D200 (on loan to Lilian)

Casio Exilim EX-V8BK

Pentax Optio W10 (mostly for playing in the snow or water)

Tokina AF 828 80-200mm f/2.8 AT-X

Lenses (that I occasionally use):

Tokina AF 840 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 AT-X (demoted cuz of the 150-500)

Lenses (that I rarely use):

Star-D 135mm f/2.8 (its nice and small, but the 135DC has it pwned)

Vivitar 500mm f/8 Mirror Lens (fun, but massively annoying bokeh)

various MF telephoto zoom lenses (mostly pointless, varying age/condition)

Accessories (that get used at least sometimes):

Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight
