Photography requires inspiration, time, technique and some equipment. Below are some of them.
I use a lot of Nikon stuff, film and digital, older and modern lenses. My black & white images are mostly done on film, but some are done digitally and then converted. I like the intimacy that my old film body with a 50mm lens brings. People open up and care less about being photographed than with a larger digital camera and bigger lenses. It also perfectly prevents me from looking at the display after each shot to see whether it worked. I focus more on seeing and shooting well that way.
My landscape work is done almost always with a big sturdy tripod, digital cameras and whatever lens feels right for the subject. I do get up before first light a lot, though.
An old rusty wheel barrow sits in a field of debris. The morning sun lights it up, as in the distance workers are braiding steel for another piece of high way.
Overhead several highways are parting ways . I like the juxtaposition of the massive highways and the simple, human powered wheel barrow. Sights like these are still very common in China and it always makes you wonder what could be achieved with better tools.
