"There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera.
And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene
that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record
it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

- Digital SLR:
Konica Minolta Maxxuum 7D (also called Dynax
7D outside North America). Recently, Konica Minolta sold its digital
camera division to Sony and Sony markets the same camera, but with
slightly varying features, such as a 10M pixel sensor instead of a 7M
pixel sensor, as Sony Alpha DSLR-alpha100.
- Lens:
- Konica Minolta 18-55mm (f/3.5-f/5.6) Digital SLR lens
- Sigma 24-75mm (f/3.5-f/5.6)
- Tamron 70-300mm (f/4.0-f/5.6)
- Minolta 50mm (f/1.7)
- SLR: Minolta Maxxum HTsi Plus
- Film: Primarily Fuji Sensia 100 slide film
- Processing:
- Thanks to the Electronic Resource Center
at Rice University, I used a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 with the SF-200 multiple slide adapter.
- CyberView slide scanner. I no longer use this scanner.
- Google Picassa: Really handy for minor adjustments such as
rotation, cropping, saturation, etc. I stay away from major cosmetic
surgeries since I hate botox infused pictures.
