I LOVE the stuff I use and the people behind the stuff I use. There are so many great companies out there, but these are the ones I use and have been super happy with.
CANON. I use the 5d, and Amazon.com is actually a great place to get quality Canon shwag for reasonable prices. I always compare them with B&H prices first though. Manfrotto for tripods. Alien Bees for lighting. Lexar compact flash cards. iPhone 3g ( yes, I do consider it part of my gear now! I even have my portfolio on it! Highly useful investment, I promise). Comfy shoes are essential. For carrying, I use my Shootsac and the Think Tank Airport International V2.0.

Labs
Portland’s own K&K Color Lab [absolutely fabulous people]. Black River Imaging [formerly Candid 2000] for enlargements. White House Custom Color for all my press-printed stuff [also great customer service, and they send lollipops with your orders].

Finao. I’m in love.
Online Client Viewing
I started with Instaproof in spring of 2009, and I’ve been really happy with their interface and ease of use.
Design
My delightful logo was designed by the amazing Brandon Buerkle. I highly recommend him. His work is just stellar. My blog is of course Blogger – I’ve been happy with them as a host, and I have of course edited the jeepers out of the standard html template to achieve this look. My website is by Creative Motion Design. They have great templates and a very user-friendly interface (FYI you will not see my exact web template there because it’s customized, but there ready-made designs are awesome). Great customer service.
