HUNGER makes perfect sauce
It’s been a while since I’ve made it up to the Summit of Mt Baldy so when an opportunity came along to take a day off from work I jumped right on it. I checked the weather forecast and it looked promising — sunny with nice, puffy cloud cover — just what I enjoy the [...]
Clark Little lives in the tube with the Nikon D3 and NIKKOR 16mm Fisheye lens in an underwater housing. It’s mind boggling the type of images he’s been able to capture in just two years — he started in 2007 after his wife asked him to take a picture of a tube so she could [...]

I don’t know if I am dedicated enough to put this on my back for a day in the field!
After traveling with Think Tank Urban Disguise 60 to Italy which required traversing two airports and one smaller commuter plane from Germany to Florence I realized that I needed a small backpack to redistribute the weight evenly between my shoulders and hips. Because as you know, photo equipment gets heavier by the minute once it’s [...]
Why Domke F-4AF Pro System Bag? Because it allows you to retrieve and replace your camera quickly and snag-free. Typically, I keep the camera with an appropriate lens mounted on my shoulder and extra lenses stashed in the Domke F-3X (or any other small shoulder bag).
