Most of the photos on this shot were taken with either an Olympus OM-1,2, 0r 4. These are my favorite film SLR bodies because they are sturdy and compact. The OM-4 has the most useful spot metering system I have ever come across.

My lenses for these bodies are all Zuiko and include a 21mm f3.5, 28mm f2.8, 35~70 f4, 50mm f1.4, 50mm f3.5 macro, and a 135mm f2.8. These are probably the sharpest and most finely constructed lenses to come out of Japan.

My only complaint is that Olympus completely abandoned the OM line when the digital era took over. Consequently I have had to look elsewhere for a digital camera. Right now that is a Canon G3 that I have enjoyed very much. The last three images in the Tennessee and World galleries were taken with this camera as well as all of the Minnesota Gallery.

My newest camera is a Canon EOS 10D digital SLR. I use this camera almost all the time now. Its taken me awhile to get used to its bigger size and all of its functions but I am getting the hang of it. I have also picked up an EOS A2 film body so that I can continue to use my favorite film, Velvia.

Right now my only lens for this camera is a Sigma 24-70 f2.8. I have to say that I am fairly impressed by it. Despite being very large and having a uneconomical 82mm filter size, its quite sharp, and its fast speed and focal range makes it quite useful in just about any situation. You can be sure, however, that more lenses will follow.

My beloved Olympus equipment I have unfortunately either sold to my father or on ebay. Ironically enough he gave me my first Olympus, and he bought my last one from me.

My accessories consist of a Bogen 3021 tripon with a Giottos head, Kenko auto extension tubes, and Canon EX 420 and 550 flashes. To scan my film I used a Nikon Supercoolscan 4000 ED curtesy of the Ohio University School of Visual Communication. I used Macintosh computers to create this site.
