Favorite Photographers

So one of the things I sure that every one has is a list of some of their favorite photographers. I have started a small list here and want to invite you to post a comment on who your favorite photographers are, so I can keep updating and adding new people to the list!

Light: Science and Magic Updated

Light, Science and Magic, third edition was released this week. Check it out over at Amazon, and while you are at it, take a look at the strobist blog to get some additional details!

As noted in the blog, the book has attracted a following of photographers practicing the techniques explained in the book... they have created a Flickr group showing off their work.

Check it out!

In My Bag

So one of the first questions that seems inevitable among photographers is 'What is in your bag?'. Well, obviously a lot of Nikon gear!!

Ok, but seriously... here is what I am currently carrying in my 'one size fits all but really hurts your back' bag:

Nikon D200 w/Vertical Grip
Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens
Nikon 28 - 70 f/2.8 lens
Nikon 105mm micro nikkor
Nikon 12 - 24 f/4 wide angle lens
3 SB-800 strobe units
Sekonic Light Meter
Combination of Lexar and SanDisk flash disks for a total of 8GB of memory
Nikon MC-36 Cable Release
4 Batteries
Polarizer, .6 ND, Grad ND filters by B+W
Singh-Ray Galen Rowell Grad ND filter with Cokin mount
various cleaning equipment, lens caps and the like.

All of this stuffed gently in a Tamarac CyberPack 8, with room for my MacBook in the back!

If you have any questions on any of this gear, please feel free to drop me a note. I would be glad to share my positive experiences.
