About:

I always have my camera with me. Always. It's gotten to the point where people don't even recognize my face anymore, they just see a lens and assume that it's me... Photography is as close as I come to actual meditation. It balances me and keeps me sane in this seriously screwed up world. Any target is fair game, and rust and decay feature heavily when I can find them. I respect the hell out of the Rule Of Thirds, and to show my respect I break it whenever necessary. Bokeh makes me happy. After 17 years I'm still happily married to myhigh school sweetheart. Here's to another 17, honey! When I win the lottery I'll get that 5D and the L-glass to go with it. In the mean time I'll stick with what I've got.... BODY: • Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT GLASS: • Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens • Canon 50mm f1.8 II • Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro • Canon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM TOYS: • Manfrotto tripod w/ ball head • Various UV and polarizing filters • iPod Shuffle • Crumpler "Sinking Barge" backpack • Lens Pen TOOLS: • iMac 20" Dual-Core • Adobe Lightroom • Adobe Photoshop Elements • Flickr.com • Wordpress.com I blog a couple of times a week atThe Ubiquitous Lensblog. When I'm not blogging a photo or a post I'm blogging my current del.icio.us links. I also have a blog calledWaddaYaGot.orgwith Jim, my crazy kiwi friend (a.k.a. "A Different Perspective"). Why "WhaddaYaGot?" Because we both like, admire, and respect other people's work and viewpoints and we like to share them with each other, and with YOU! Photography and tech subjects feature heavily, and now and then we might even post something of our own. Check us out!
