The gear I use reflects how I like to photograph—simple, dependable, and enjoyable. From digital and film cameras to the lenses and accessories in my bag, these are the tools I rely on for everyday moments, travel, architecture, and family.
What I like to take photos with.
x100vi
Fujifilm X100VI
I was first in line to get on the waitlist for the X100VI, and it was worth the wait. It’s small, compact, and easy to take just about anywhere. The addition of IBIS is amazing and makes an already great everyday camera even more versatile. With its fixed 23mm lens and classic Fuji controls, the X100VI has become the camera I reach for when I simply want to grab a camera and go.
x-t5
Fujifilm X-T5
After years of shooting with the X-Pro3, I decided to upgrade to the X-T5. With more megapixels, a newer processor, and more dedicated controls, it’s a significant step forward while still maintaining the classic Fujifilm experience. I love the rangefinder-style design of the X-Pro3, but it’s been nice getting back to a traditional SLR-style camera again.
rx100m7
Sony RX100VII
How can you not like the Sony RX100 VII? It’s small, fast, and incredibly versatile, with a 24–200mm equivalent zoom range that covers everything from wide-angle shots to telephoto. The images are sharp and clean, and its compact size makes it an easy camera to take anywhere.
What I like to take film with.
fx2
Sony FX2
I started with the FX3 but eventually decided to “upgrade” to the FX2. While the FX3 is an incredible cinema camera, I wanted something more versatile for the way I shoot. The FX2 gives me the video capabilities I love from Sony’s Cinema Line while adding stronger photo controls in a true hybrid camera. It’s become my go-to when I want to carry one camera for both photos and video.
When I like to use film.
electro35
Yashica Electro 35
I found a great deal on this Yashica Electro 35 on eBay, and it arrived in surprisingly great condition. After replacing the light seals and battery, it was ready to shoot. With its fast 45mm f/1.7 lens and beautiful vintage glass, it has a unique character that makes shooting film even more enjoyable.
645pro
Mamiya 645 Pro
I owned a Mamiya 645E back in college and always loved shooting the 6×4.5 format and developing 120 film. So, years later, I had to add a Mamiya 645 Pro back into my collection. It’s big and heavy, but that’s part of the experience—it makes you slow down, think about the composition, and be intentional with every frame.
