I am a Nikon shooter. I work park time at a grocery store, and I do freelance web design and development. This is how I afford my gear. I also, don't eat fast food or drink soda, so I have more money for my gear. This is also why I don't have a pro account, so feel free to buy me one :)

Primary Gear:

Nikon D80 & MB-D80

Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S DX

Nikkor 50mm 1.8D (in the mail)

Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 APO EX DG MACRO HSM (saving for)

Strobist Gear:

Vivitar 285hv

2x Sunpak 544

eBay Slaves

I am also a proud Mac and iPhone user and will remain as such.
