Former pro (film), quit for a while, used a feature filled digital point and shoot for a long time, now using DSLR and learning and photographing everything I can except what my very bad back keeps me from doing.

I love shooting people, but I love using lights and my back limits me so I mostly shoot cats, flowers and macro stuff.

My equipment:

Canon XSi/450D

Canon 430 EX II flash

Opteka FSC-5 E-TTL II Off-Camera Flash Sync Cord

Quantaray auto slave flash

LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer LQ-101

Other various flash modifiers

White Lighting Ultra 600, light stands etc.

Sigma 18-50mm

Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Opteka extension tubes

Canon 300mm f/4 L

Tamron 1.4x Teleconverter

Light meter - broken now :(
