Essential Photography Gear

I get asked a lot what kind of photography gear I use. Well, here’s my updated list of photo gear that I trust, use and swear by. There’s a few others that come and go, but for the most part, this is it!  I do want to stress that I’m not endorsed by any of these companies and while I like all these products, I’m a firm believer that there are great products in every category by many different vendors.  Your camera doesn’t matter if you don’t have skills to use it…
