Ummm, I like photography and I'll point my camera at just about anything. I especially like to point it at things that move, like athletes, animals, and storms :-)

Current Equipment:
Canon 50d
Canon EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
Canon EFS 60mm f/2.8 Macro
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS
Canon EF 300mm f/4 IS
DIY Pinhole Body Cap
Kata Torso Pack
Adobe Lightroom
Photoshop Elements
Mac
Wacom Bamboo Tablet
And because I like to chase storms, a North Face rain suit for me and an Aqua Tech camera suit for my little electronic friend :-)

Wish List:
Canon 5d Mk III (if and when ;-)

Dream List:
EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM
The perfect gear bag (and an assistant to carry it ;-)

    "Here is a photographer with a double dose of creativity. That mixed with and applied to the mundane reality and funk of daily life is a wonderful combination

    She brings artful images of her world in a vision of stark reality that is impossible to capture for lesser mortals like us who are so abundant and pervade the world of flickr at large. ;-)

    A brilliant photographer !"

    "kstoon, I have only known her work for a brief time, but from my first view I was hooked. Some of our work is similar, I enjoy her subject and her view on the world is authentic and real. She has also given me wonderful comments on my work, and for that I am thankful. I will always be a fan and look forward to her future posts.

    "Kstoon, where to start. I often find myself looking at your photostream and I never stop saying to myself wow. I am really inspired by your work to try new types of shots. Love the many different styles that you have. Keep up the amazing work!"

    "I first went to k's photostream upon seeing a particularly cool picture of Sammy, her golden retriever. Once, there, you find that she takes fantastic landscape shots as well. Really good stuff. Lately, k has run a series on "Butch" that is basically a statement about homelessness. These shots should not be missed. They are the product of a gifted photographer and human being."

    "I've know ks since she started working with me several years ago. Most of you don't know this, but she has a great cartoon style of different characters. I really admire (and I'm a bit jealous) of her photography. She has a passion for it and an 'eye' for seeing something that isn't there.

    We've gone out shooting together and each time she 'attacks' the outing with great interest. She's fun to watch, and even though I keep getting in her shots, she is still fun to go out shooting with.

    She can blame me for her nice digital camera. I egged her on to buying it. No stopping her now.

    I'll never forget the 'phrase' at the Central Illinois, 50 Years of Progress show. What a hoot! Ask her about it sometime."

    "Kstoon is a good photographer and getting better every day. She's getting to be a master at composition and is able to see a photo where others can not. She takes the time to show us the reality of what her eye sees and applies her unique creativity to bring it to fruition. She often braves inclement weather to go shooting and takes her craft seriously, putting in many hours of driving and searching for interesting subjects.
    I highly admire her drive and self discipline in her devotion to photography. I thank her for sharing her wonderful images with us on FlickR."
