AS THE POET USES WORDS,
SO, THE PHOTOGRAPHER USES LIGHT

Boring stuff about me:
Been a photographer for over 30 years.
Happily married to a wonderful woman.
Love to joke around.
57 years old.
Love my family to death. Grandkids are my life.
Live, sleep and eat photography for many years.
There is nothing about the craft that I don't enjoy.
Been a computer geek and Photoshop user since PS4.

I USE THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT:
Canon 30D, 40D, and 50D.
Canon 24-105mm f4.0 IS L-Series
Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS L-series
Canon 70-200mm f4.0 L-series
Canon 17-55mm IS f2.8
Canon 60mm f2.8 true 1:1 macro
Canon 10-22mm f3.5-4.5
Canon 17-85mm IS f4-5.6
Two Canon 430 ex Speedlites
Canon ST-E2 wireless flash transmitter
Wireless remote triggers
My pal, a big old 8 lbs. studio tripod that I pack everywhere Ugh!
Some studio equipment.
lights, stands, reflectors, soft boxes,
backdrops, gels etc.

As you can see, I prefer to use only Canon cameras and top of the line Canon lenses exclusively because I like their superior quality. They are definitely worth the extra money. I've learned my lesson in the past with the brand X equipment. Don't see much reason to buy third party anymore if I can just get Canon in the first place. I've owned some other brand lenses in the past and never had any luck with them and always wound up ditching them and buying a Canon.

Not much else to say. Just a regular guy, just trying to get through the same life as you are, and we share the love of the same craft. Can't beat it. (smile)

Good luck to you all and may your next image be your best.
Take care,
Jim
