Hello and Welcome to my Blog.

I will be using this blog to keep track of some of the things that I'll be working on. I'll be posting notes on my photography shoots and some of the techniques that I used in photographs, both in lighting setups and processing. This is mainly for my personal use but if you find something useful here great.

Starting out I'd like to list the equipment that I'm currently using. This list is going to change as I add or remove items.(Note: I do have an extensive collection of vintage film cameras that I use from time to time. I also have a collection of cheap plastic 35mm cameras that I also play around with.)
