posting frequency
I'd love to able to post daily but realistically once or twice a week is going to be a challenge. In fact lately once or twice a month seems to be all I can manage butI'm working on it.
site design
Dreamweaver
camera equipment
Most of my shots are taken with a Nikon D100. I use two lenses for almost everything, both Nikkors, an f2.8 24-85mm and an f2.8 80-200mm. I infrequently use a Nikkor f3.5 70-300mm. When I need a smaller rig I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7.
image handling
All images are processed in Adobe PhotoshopCS 9.0. I try to mess with photos as little as possible but occasionally I can't resist the urge to do a little cropping.
computer
Mac Powerbook 12 with 20"screen
musical accompaniment:
Music is a big part of my life. I play it, sing it, and listen to it constantly. This table shows what I was listening to
while I made each page.
