My Favorite Things

You asked for it, so you’re getting it!

So without further ado here’s a sampling of the things i love, adore & use ….
nicely sorted into categories of interest; of course.

A quick look at some of my must-have’s for artistic photography.
Ok, Ok…. so you don’t HAVE to have them, but I think these photography supplies rock!

Thanks for your generosity in sharing tool info. Can you recommend a good printer? I had a fabulous EpsonCX6600, but the ink dried up and that killed the printer. I’m looking and asking everyone about a good printer right now….. I understand if you don’t want to tell.

TIA,
Sooz

Thanks for all of your insights. I just ordered the two books you recommended as I just recently got Photoshop and am at a loss. Can’t wait to get some guidance and try some of these things out. THANKS!
