The Gear
/third person
Computer: I do all of my work on an Alienware Area-51 series desktop with 2.66 GHZ P4 processor, 2GB Kingston RAM, and an outdated GeForce 6200 256MB graphics card. My rig is nearly two years old, but I still love it. I’ve only upgraded a few things since I bought it and I have nothing bad to say about Alienware. I’d gladly buy another computer from them in the future.
I’m using Windows Vista Ultimate for my operating system and have a dual-monitor setup with a 15 inch AOC monitor and a 20w Acer model.
Camera: I use a Nikon D40 with the standard 18-55mm kit lens. I also have a 70-210mm f4 lens and a Quantaray QTB-7500A flash unit. I carry my gear in a Sedec Hiker series camera pack. I shot everything in RAW format, so I use an 8GB SD card I picked up for $35 from Tiger Direct. I edit everything in Photoshop CS3.
Also: My other prized favorite gadgets I own are the Nintendo Wii and a Nike Triax50 watch.
