My Gear

Gear I use and recommend

One of the most common questions I receive is about the sort of gear I use as a professional photographer and writer.  I’ve decided to compile the list of both equipment I personally use, and the equipment I recommend.  If you have any questions or comments about any of the gear listed here, please contact me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
