    In an album at my parents' house there's a photo of me holding my dad's camera at an embarrassingly awkward age in my childhood – or maybe I was just way ahead of the big, nerdy glasses trend?

    The gear that changed my (photographic) life: the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

    The gear that changed my (photographic) life: Nikon's 35mm F2 AF-D

    My workhorse combo for many years (with a cleaner UV filter, I promise). I finished my undergraduate degree in visual journalism using a Nikon D80 while many of my peers were using Nikon's D90, D300 and D700 cameras. I was, shall we say, a bit jealous.
