A photograph is a most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever. -Mark Twain



I mostly shoot in manual mode, not for any belief that I'm some sort of great artist but rather that it has been the best teacher. I made the switch from an Olympus Camedia 4040 to a Nikon D80 in September 2006 when I became frustrated by the limits of my old P&S. I currently shoot with a D300.

I tend to mix my family pictures in with the landscape, stills and macros I do. Since some family members don't have flickr accounts, the rest of you get subjected to them too.:)

The obligatory lens list:

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D AF
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D AF
Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Micro Manual Focus Lens
Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D
Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro
Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom

I also have for those occasions that the big camera and lens isn't welcome, a Leica D-Lux 4 that I'm fast coming to realize is a pretty sharp little piece of equipment.

I'm lucky enough to have a spouse that encourages my love for photography and for the I am always grateful. He also has a flickr account where he puts up the pictures he takes when he travels.

Please, please, please don't post invites with flashy bits or giant graphics. I don't join a lot of flickr groups and posting a graphic with an invite is not really a comment. It is also not a comment when you do nothing but crosspost a picture to my photos to boost your own hits. These sorts of things will be removed.
