I became interested in photography in a serious way about eight years ago and was instantly pulled towards street, documentary and reportage photography. Seemed like a natural marriage-- people and photography-- having always been a people watcher and mildly curious about lifestyle and culture; the extraordinary from the ordinary.

Too many cameras, not enough time or skill to use them all. The digital side of things is taken care of with:

Nikon D700

Nikon D300

AF-S 12-24mm f/4G DX

AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G

AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II

AF 85mm f/1.8D

My film cameras are:

Nikon FM2

Nikon FM3A

Nikon F100

with:

20mm f/2.8 AIS

35mm f/2 AIS

50mm f/1.4 AI

105mm f/2.5 AIS lenses

Black and white is a mixture of Kodak Tri-X 400 and Ilford Delta 100 and 400. The older photographs were shot on Ilford XP2 400.

And that's the boring gear inventory.
