After a few weeks without YouCapture, I'm really looking forward to being back in the game. Our challenge this week was to put up our top 10 shots of 2011, and I kinda love doing this because I tend to forget how many cool things I've shot and the things we've done...
Ever wonder what I’m shooting with? Here’s an overview of the photography equipment I use on a regular basis and take just about everywhere I go.
