Where I Get My Photography Equipment
As a working photographer I get asked quite a bit, “where do you get your equipment?” Since I’m not sponsored by anyone I can honestly say I’m not tied down to any one place. Just like this backpack I’m free to roam the landscape. Even though I can go anywhere on the internet for the […]
