Intelligent. Clever. Handsome. Modest.

I don't profess to be a great photographer. If I get a good one, it's because I have the best equipment I can afford for what I want to shoot, and I tried hard to do well. As a result, if I don't do well, I can't blame the gear, only myself. And I don't like blaming myself, so I try harder the next time.

Nikon D7200 (for sports/action/wildlife.)

Sony A77 II (for macro work and general use.)

Pentax KP (for macro work and general use, and because Sony discontinued production of A-Mount cameras.)

Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II LD (not the VC version) (One for the Sony, and one for the Pentax.)

Sigma 70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro (for the Sony.)

Minolta 70-210mm f/4.0 a.k.a. "Beercan" (for the Sony.)

Pentax D FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro WR (for the Pentax.)

Tokina AF-X 100-300mm f/4.0 (for the Nikon.)

Nikon 85mm f/1.8 D (for the Nikon.)

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D (for the Nikon.)

Tamron 19-35 f/3.5-4.5 (for the Nikon)

Samyang 500mm f/8.0 (for both the Sony and the Nikon.)

Kenko TelePlus 1.4X Teleconverter (for the Sony, mainly for the macro.)

The last flash I used needed bulbs. I didn't like the look so I stopped using it before I ran out of bulbs, and haven't used flash since.
