Over the years, I have learned what works, mostly by trial and error. I hope that sharing this information is both interesting and beneficial to you. Scroll on down the page for links to all sorts of info !

The banner ads on these pages occasionally provide links to useful information about photography products and related services. An Adorama link is provided because I recommend them.. Adorama is straight forward, easy to deal with and their prices are among the lowest.

Please note that I have no control over the banner ads and occasionally some really strange ones appear...please just ignore them. Also, if a banner ad pops up with an unbelievable deal on a camera or other item... beware... research a vendors legitimacy before you purchase anything.

If you decide to email me, keep in mind that I get a ton of questions. I try my best to answer them all, but often times I am on assignment in some remote location in the world and don't check e-mail for days or weeks.

Of course, if you have find any information on this site to be useful, or if I have answered a question for you, and you would like to contribute something, just click the button below. Thanks !
