"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." Albert Einstein

No special talents, but I do have obsessions, photography and the culinary arts among them. My temperament is such that I persevere until I get a result I am happy with, in all things of life. I am trying to stay on a creative journey, and no matter the medium, I hope to keep going forward and hopefully create a moment of joy for someone.

I don't believe the strength of a photographer lies in their gear, but rather in their mind - vision and creativity are truly the key. But for those interested in technical details, here's what I'm using:
D90 (best gift I ever got)
Nikkor 35mm f1.8
Nikkor 50mm f1.8
Nikon 55mm f2.8 micro (the 20-year old version)
Vivitar 75-205 f3.8 (made by Kiron; I paid 30$ for this lens, after fishing it out from a sale bin at the camera store)
UV filters, polarizers
Joby gorillapod with ballhead (loving it for food shots)
Lightroom
CS4

I am very appreciative of comments, and it still amazes me that people actually spend time with my shots, inadequate as they are. I'll try to return the favour, if I can.
