Photographers

In Alphabetical Order

There are many excellent photographer's websites on the net. These are either people I know personally or they have more to offer than just nice photographs.

Birds as Art - Arthur Morris's website. Beautiful bird photographs as well as interesting articles.

Glacier Peak Photography - Devin Dahlgren's website. Devin is a friend that has become quite an accomplished photographer. Great website.

Luminous Landscape - Michael Reichmann's website includes tons of useful articles on digital photography. Some nice photos as well.

Mark Citret - I've attended many of Mark's photographic workshops and have learned a lot from him even though our photographic styles are very different.

Manufacturers

In Alphabetical Order

Contax - 35mm and medium format cameras. Beautiful quality cameras and optics although not quite as feature rich as those from Canon and Nikon.

Canon - 35mm and digital cameras, scanners, printers, etc.

Epson - The best photo printers in my opinion, and now with the Epson Pro 9000, possibly the best large format printers (certainly in the $10K price range).

Gitzo - Great tripods, but mediocre heads.

Imacon - High end (but not super high end) scanners for 35mm, medium format, and 4x5. Great quality and easy to use.

Linhof - large format view cameras.

Lowepro - Maker of the best camera bags and backpacks available.

Minds@Work - Portable digital storage devices.

Nikon - 35mm and digital cameras, scanners.

Vested Interest - Photo vests and beanbags.
