>>> WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I use a Canon 5D, and my favorite lenses are my 35mm f/1.4 and the 50mm f/1.4.  I think I could shoot all day every day with those two bad boys.  I love my SX-70 Polaroid, and bring it with me on all of my sessions.
extra bonus: you get to keep the polaroids! (wooo!!!)

>>> AREN'T POLAROIDS DEAD?
No, not really.  It's not being made anymore, but what is left is still being sold.  #1, I still buy it at Wal-Mart 
#2, a rad team of people is working on recreating it!  Check out the impossible project for more information.

>>> WHO MADE YOUR BLOG?
i feel so blessed to have had a rad team of people who helped me do this site. 
i had been dreaming it up for about two years, and these people made the vision come to life:
Into The Darkroom designed the blog (they are so rad!)
Ruthi Auda designed my logos- all million of them (she, is, genius)
my brother Jason made original drawings of all of the logos that Ruthi designed
and Marlin Munoz took that photo of me at the top!
thank you all :)
