I'm a software engineer... So I live in an office chair either staring at a screen or at a meeting table with other people who often sit staring at a screen.

My wife and I have 2 digitals, a Sony DSC-T1 and a Canon 20d.

I have 4 lenses for the Canon.

Canon EF-S 17-85 F4-5.6 IS USM

Canon EF 75-300 F4.5-5.6 USM III

Canon EF 100 macro F2.8 USM

A budget manual 28mm F2.8 for reverse coupling for macros.

I finally got myself a 580ex flash so I'm working my way through the shopping list.

2 Camera bags. The Tamrac Velocity 9 (sling-style satchel) and the excellent Crumpler Karachi Outpost (ultimate backpack).

I'm about as amateur as photographers come, keen to learn and hopefully improving.

You can find me on ICQ (24880445), MSN (talden at theabode gen nz) or email (talden at gmail.com)...

Feel free to contact me for a chat...
