| Introduction | First camera: little grey Kodak Brownie Starflash (I think that's what it was... I was 8); First camera I bought... Focal 110; First camera I made... 120 cartridge pinhole camera; First 35mm SLR... Minolta SRT-100, 35-105mm f4-5.6 zoom, 135mm, 35mm f2.8, 2x extender; First Digital... Olympus C5050; Currently... Nikon D80, 55-200mm Nikon VR, 60mm Nikkor Micro f2.8, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, Nikkor 18-70mm, Sigma 24mm f1.8 Macro, SB800, Sunpak 383, 2 SB28s, a SB26, a bunch of older strobes (I still have the 18-55mm kit lens, but it hasn't been used in a long time); & Nikonos V, 35mm Nikonos f2.8, 20mm Sea&Sea f2.8, 2 SB-105 speedlights, assorted trays and arms (all of which I shoot with) and a crapload of other UW photo gear (including older strobes, cables, trays, arms, misc.) I've also shot Yashica (a nice rangefinder), Canon, Pentax and Ricoh for various assignments, mostly for not-for-profit organizations. I started Scuba in the late '80s and took to underwater photography shortly thereafter. I became an scuba instructor in the early '90s. I am still an active Public Safety Diver for the local Sheriff's office. |
