A few things about my photostream:
All my pictures are collected in sets. I believe it's easier to browse through my photostream through these sets rather than just plowing through the pages.
I try very hard to respond to all comments and/or favoriting (I don't think that's a word...) of my pictures by visiting other's photostreams. I may not always have time to comment, but I always look around. I like to see what everyone is up to with their cameras.
I think my photos look better on a black background. If you use firefox, there's a great extension (greasemonkey) that allows you to view flickr on black. There is also a "view on black" toy on fd's flickrtoys.

Equipment:
I shoot in all digital. I currently have a Canon EOS 40D. It's a great camera. I have several lenses including: a tamron 70-300mm 1:2 macro that I often use with a Nikon #5T achromat attached; a Phoenix 100mm F/3.5 Macro; a Canon 50mm F/1.8 Mk II; a canon 70-200 F/4 L; a Canon 70-200 F/2.8 L; and, of course, IS kit lens.
I have a Manfrotto monopod that I could not live without. An external flash with a LumiQuest mini softbox that is really great. I also have other toys like a reflector, simple lights, and a light box. Two more things I have and that are rarely mentioned: a really good camera bag/backpack and a kneepad. A good backpack can really come in handy, and kneepads can save you all sorts of discomfort - especially with nature photography.

"Wonderful, amazing, clear crisp photographs of animals and insects. If you love breathtaking close-ups where you can count the leg hairs on a spider, you're in the right place."
