I recently purchased the Nikon D3 camera and 2 new lens: the 24mm-70mm Nikon and the 50mm f/1.4 Zeiss. My first real test of the new system came in September 2008 with a trip to New Orleans. This combination is awesome in low light. I am very pleased with the camera.

Willem Wernsen-Photo says:

"Good photographer!"

20th November, 2008
burnt-fingernails says:

"Each photo by Ozzie is a film.
A great film director."

6th May, 2007
Hank Conner says:

"Ozzie is a kindred spirit. I am from the South. He is from, well, the near South. His genre images of small town Arkansas are priceless. They capture the people at moments in their lives that will never come again. There is an enormous amount of truth in his images and this must be preserved. Go to Ozzie often and you will not be disappointed."

Briggate.com says:

"Ozzie's photos are usually wonderfully clear and crisp. I think he has a clarity of vision, too. And I know of no-one on flickr whose B+Ws can compare for their satisfying richness of tone. A wonderful eye. And, I guess, from the pictures and comments, must be good to know.

I am looking forward to seeing more wonderful pictures showing a world I know only from pictures.

Watch this man."
