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.

Rice Bags at the Market, Shanghai, China
Rice bags with neat labels made from thin slices of wood, denoting the type and origin form a simple composition of circles and diagonals.
This stall was by far the cleanest and best arranged in the entire market and its Japanese proprietor proud, but also camera shy.
