I live in New York and have gotten back into photography as an intermediate/serious amateur after many years. Have used Canon camera since the 1970's when I did my own developing and printing. Dropped the hobby for many years when married and raising children and now I have returned to it in more seriously the past year and a half.
Use a Canon 60D DSLR and an 18-200mm as my go-to lens. All macro work is done using my Tamron SP AF90mm F/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro Model 272. The "small world" should never be overlooked for inspiration, beauty and discovery as a photographer.
