Equipment
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.

Rubble Home, Shanghai
Amidst the rubble of her mostly torn down neighborhood, a little girl who is still living there walks along.
Scenes like these are all too common in Shanghai, where the old homes make way for new high rises and shopping malls and the old tenants are displaced to the outskirts, their livelihoods destroyed and the future uncertain.
