I’m a freelance photographer and I’ve been using Macintosh since 1985, with a couple of detours to NeXT and even Windows 95. But I’ve stayed with Macintosh steadily since 1999; for me, its a much better tool.
I shoot events, pet portraits, nature, people portraits, and even some macro. Check out my portfolio pages. Here’s my photo kit, for those who are naturally curious about gear; but remember David duChemin’s credo: “Gear is Good. Vision is Better.”
