Camera:   Digital SLR:  Canon Rebel EOS/1000D

Lenses:   Canon 50mm F/1.4–Love this lens!  Great for indoors and in low light.  My only prime lens.

Canon EF 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 IS USM- I use this a lot for little league sports.  Although this lens is limited by the high F/stop, it is one of my favorites.

Tamron SP AF 60mm F/2 Macro-Love this for flower photography and close-ups.

Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 aspherical lens–Wide angle, zoom. I often take this lens on photo jaunts because of its wide range of options.

Camera bags:

Lowepro Passport Sling Bag–This is my go to bag.  It is very versatile and doesn’t look too much like a camera bag.  It is comfortable even when hiking.

Lowepro Toplander Pro 55–I chose this bag whenever I use my telephoto lens.  It is very easy to move the camera into and out of this bag.

Software:

Aperture-for organizing my files and basic editing

Photoshop Elements-I use this for more advanced editing.

RadLab-I looove this software!  It is extremely intuitive to use.  It employs stylets that are fun to try.
