Hi, sorry but I'm not posting any pictures of my camera equipment . I get lots of questions on the type of equipment I use. So to permanently answer the same repetitive equipment questions, this page lists what I use.

By the way, an examination of the inventory reveals that I?m the original icon that coined the word ?cheapskate?.

Apart from an understanding in fundamental photography concepts, I have no interest in understanding the wonderful world of how cameras work both electronically and manually. Nonetheless, an painter without a brush, a writer without a PC and for that matter, a photographer without a camera will find it hard to work without a vehicle in which his work is created.

For this simple reason alone I list a few of my favorite tools when making images.

* Canon EOS (not saying which) with an assortment of primes

* Canon Canonet GIII QL17 (nice little 70s rangefinder that is compact and quick) (Sold 13/02/03)
