Equipment/hardware/learning links
Canon USA
In my opinion, the finest Single-Lens Reflex camera line available! (And I can't WAIT to get a digital EOS! WOW!!!)
HP Printers
I have used several printers since discovering the Digital Print, and I LOVE HP printers for several reasons: First, they are EASY to use and make great prints on almost everybody's photo papers. Second, they are reliable, fast and AMAZINGLY HIGH QUALITY. (Four picolitre droplets, 6 ink cartridges, 1200 X 2400 res, sizes up to 13X19 inches with a list of $699!) Third, HP's Photosmart printers yield prints that will last over 67 years!
Tamron Lenses
I recently got their 28-105mm f2.8 fixed aperture lens. WOW! Fast AND sharp! (And the 90mm macro makes my heart go pitty-pat!)
Eastman Kodak Professional
What more could you ask? The Great Yellow Father PROFESSIONAL division! (I love them, but have lost respect for the clowns at Kodak corporate, moving film production off-shore.)
People/friends/kindred spirits
