equipment & learning

There are two main things I’ve learned about camera gear. One: my gear is really, really important! (Because I want to take consistently high-quality images, and be able to rely on my gear in tough situations, I have invested in high-quality gear.)  Two: my gear is not as important as my skill and knowledge. (A $3000 camera with a $1500 lens doesn’t automatically make good photos – I have to know how to operate it.)  So along with showing you what cameras, lenses and lighting stuff I use, I’ve also linked some of the places online where I’ve learned the most about photography.
