BreastCancer.org
We love, and have too often lost, many people to breast cancer, including the wife of an old friend who courageously battled not one, but four, bouts of breast cancer, only to finally succumb to pancreatic cancer. I never met her, but judging from the many beautiful stories I've heard about her and her life, the strength, courage and determination she maintained during her years of often-disabling treatments and surgeries, and her will to keep living her life as best she could, while inspiring others even as she was dying. On behalf of those who have suffered or who are now or have been fighting for their lives, I urge you to visit breastcancer.org to learn how you can help fight for a cure, to learn the symptoms for early detection and prompt treatment, to read the courageous and inspiring stories of survivors, and much more. And I urge all women to perform monthly self breast exams in addition to regular mammograms as directed by your physician, as well as men checking their prostate - not just for yourself, but also for those who love you and want you around as long as possible!

Lowepro Camera Bags
There are so many wonderful choices of camera bags available to us. My favorites are by Lowepro, because they are very lightweight (which helps when we start adding weight from our cameras, lenses, speedlights, filters, batteries and everything else we carry in them, plus the are very versatile and can expand as my needs expand. Other bags I use for different occasions are ThinkTank's Rotation 360, and a Pelican travel backpack with wheels and a telescoping handle. Both carry my 17" MacBook Pro easily, when I need to travel or shoot with it. But on most occasions I use one of my many Lowepro's.

Outdoor Photographer
I subscribe to many photography magazines. This is one of my faves. Besides the wealth of information and the stunning images and story contributions by renowned photographers, I am proud to have met many of those photographers, and the list of those I'm honored to have met, from all over the country, seems to grow each year. When I grow up, I want to be just like some of these wonderful people, and maybe 1/2 as talented. If you don't already read this magazine and want to know more about outdoor photography (and really, any type of photography), this is a worthy and inexpensive investment, and a fun magazine to read.

From product development and graphic design to the media and entertainment sectors, Wacom facilitates the work of individuals and workgroups with truly natural ways to work with digital content." I use some of their tablets. They are without doubt my best time-savers during post-processing and graphics design, plus they make it fun!
