Cameras
Starting with an Argus C3 in 1968 I have owned many cameras and lenses: my first SLRs were Pentax (small, and light), but I switched to Olympus in the mid 80s for the excellent spot meter in the OM4-T. For many years I used an Olympus Stylus Epic for climbs where ease of use, and weight, were at a premium.

I transitioned to digital with a Canon Powershot S70 - incredible power in a small package. After a few months with it I realized I wouldn't be using my film cameras much any more so I sold my Olympus and bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT and two Sigma lenses: 18-125, and 135-400.

Film
For many years I used Kodachrome 25 and 64. In the 80s I switched to Fuji Velvia 50 or Provia 100. Since going digital I'm using Sandisk Extreme III compact flash cards.

Video
Through the 90s I put still photography on the back burner and concentrated on a project to video tape ski descents of the Cascade volcanoes.

Computer
I'm still using a dual-800 G4 Mac. Most of the pictures on this site were scanned from slides with a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000, then edited with the latest version of Photoshop.

Printer
I use an Epson 2200, and a variety of paper.

Panoramas
Stitching a series of shots in the computer to create high resolution panoramas is my lastest thing.
