I’m working on answering these in the next few days, but right now I’m just compiling the list together from comments on the site and Flickr! Bare with me!
What camera do you use?
I use a Canon Digital Rebel XTi, but I just upgraded to a 7D and I’m really, really excited about it.
Your photos are always so crisp and warm, how can I get my photos to look like that?
Aside from asking which camera I use, this is the most frequent question asked, so I made a tutorial! In short I use a custom profile on my Canon body, along with a really awesome Canon 50mm 1.4 lens.
What camera would you recommend for a starting photographer?
I get asked this question a lot, and the answer is that it all depends on how you plan to use your camera, but I’ve written a more detailed Beginner DSLR Buyer’s Guide, if you’re curious.
Where did you get your map bag/purse?! It’s the coolest camera bag ever!
I picked up the bag itself from an independent store here in Canada at one of our heritage malls, and even though I’ve scoured the inside for any type of label, unfortunately I’ve found none. As for the “camera bag” padding and compartments, that part I made myself! I took the insides of a camera bag that matched the same tones of my bag and just popped out the bottom and put it inside.
Should I buy Canon or Nikon? Does it matter?
In short, no, it doesn’t matter. One isn’t really better than the other, and any photographer worth their salt will tell you so. It’s really all about personal preference. There are differences and similarities to both.
I’m thinking of buying a camera but I’m unsure about the kit lens it comes with. Can you recommend a lens for me?
My Canon 50mm 1.4! However, since the XTi/7D are both crop bodies it acts more like an 80mm and I am considering an upgrade to a 30mm/35mm!
Do you have any tips for aspiring photographers?
Take photos every day! Surround yourself by photographers you love. Be open to criticism (others and your own). Be willing to try new angles, subjects, and processing. Have fun!
Do you edit your photos? What do you use?
I will answer this one soon!
Film or digital?

I love your website! How did you make it?
I use the WordPress platform and have my own host and domain!
