      Photographing North Carolina's wild horses   

         Beyond my listing of equipment above, there are all sorts of accessories I use for different shooting situations. A great many of these accessories I've made myself. Far too often the commercial items are unjustifiably expensive, or don't really work for what I need, or the thing I need simply doesn't exist. Consequently, I often have to invent them myself. (see the "Projects, Articles & Reviews" links at right or the "Custom Equipment Articles" pull down menu in the top bar)

          I can't say my homemade creations are always the most elegant things of beauty, but they get the job done, and usually cost less than commercial items that don't quite do what I need. In any case, it's the results that matter. Some of my creations are now in their second, third, or even fourth revision, as I frequently come up with ways to improve upon something after having used it in the field. I am in a constant quest for ways to improve my photography and make the process easier. I continually have new ideas to try, which I share in these pages, along with my thoughts, reviews, suggestions and tips on equipment and technique that I think might be helpful. I hope you find some of this stuff useful, whether as-is, or as the spark for your own creativity. So, please take time to look through my articles. Maybe there's a gem in there for you.
