 My primary camera is the Canon 5D an 12.8 mega-pixel digital full-frame SLR with the BG-E4 grip. I'm always setting my camera on manual mode to control the depth of field and motion blur. Full-frame gives me a true 24mm wide angle when I have a 24mm lens. |
 For a back-up camera I use the Canon 20D an 8.2 mega-pixel digital SLR with the BG-E2 grip. Because this sensor has a 1.6X crop I tend to use this body along with the 70-200mm lens to get an effective 320mm lens for great close-ups during wedding ceremonies. |
 This 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens is on my camera for most portrait work. |
| For close-up, sports, or head and shoulder portraits I use the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L lens. |
|
 That last lens is heavy, so I steady it with a Bogen monopod. |
 Precision metering is with the Sekonic L358 equipped with wireless control for the PocketWizard units. |
 This Canon gadget bag holds my camera body, meter and back-up media. |
 My sturdy Bogen 3020 tripod is used both in studio and on location and has served me well since 1982. |
 Proper white balance is achieved with the Kodak grey card. |
 Sandisk is my compact flash card. |

Traveling on location I may use two of the Metz mecablitz 54 flashes. 
To get the flash off the camera into a higher
position, I use the Stroboframe Pro-RL bracket.
If I need fill flash outside or want to trigger my studio lights
then the PocketWizard PLUS provides remote control.
Outdoors and indoors I use Photoflex reflectors. 
Studio lighting is powered by White Lightning X800 mono lights. 
All of my studio lighting equipment fits neatly into this Callaway golf bag.
I work on an HP Pavilion DV9000 laptop with a huge 17" screen set to 1440x900 pixels.
