PHOTO EQUIPMENT
The importance of the equipment one employs in the resulting images cannot even be compared with those of good technique, being out there at the right time or simply being out there. At the end of the day, any working camera will produce a nice photo if you shoot with it under nice light at a good location, but not even the best one will produce anything if kept in the closet. Nevertheless, the following is a list of my current equipment:
