I'm a candid, street photography kind of shooter born and raised in Calistoga. I don't set up shots, I don't put my camera on sticks, I don't use a flash or strobes and I don't ask people to pose, I simply shoot what I see with available light.



I currently use a Sony A700 dSLR and all my glass is Minolta. 50mm f/1.7 - 28-135mm f/4 and 80-200mm f/2.8 HS APO G. I don't own a tripod. Everything you see here is handheld, even the night shots.



News: May 2009 Sony launches three new Alpha dSLRs with features aimed right at the first time dSLR owner. Menus actually show newbie what some of the photographic terms/controls mean and how they impact their photographs. A230 A330 A380
