Tools of the Trade

I feel confident in saying that photographers and videographers all have one thing in common, they are “Gear Heads”. Even if you just shooting with a hand-me-down 35mm camera and are against the digital world, you still most likely enjoy taking a peek into someone else’s camera bag. It’s like going into a Toy Store when you were a kid. You see familiar items, ones you’ve longed for, and ones you didn’t even know existed. I love it. 

A few days ago I shoot a portrait at my house and had most of my gear out after. I decided today was the day I’m was going to take that iconic “Gear Shot”. Also, I’m hoping this will cut down on people asking me what equipment I use (2 birds dead). So here you go Gear Heads! This is almost everything I use and where to get it online. Eat your heart out.
