Pictures
I take a lot of pictures most of the time. You can find them on
my Flickr.
I'm still slowly going through the shoeboxes of ~10 years of film pictures, and eventually they'll all make it on-line there.
If you find any pictures that you would like prints of or would like permission to use digitally, please send me an e-mail (
ckdake@ckdake.com) and let me know what you're interested in! I've done everything from providing high-resolution digital originals to magazines, to envelopes of 4x6s, to large 20x30 prints, and every little bit I make from selling prints and licensing goes towards equipment costs.
Since I got my first camera when I was just 4, I've mostly just been taking pictures to capture the moment. My family traveled a lot, and I've done a lot of neat things so there have been plenty of moments to capture. I've been trying to do a bit of picture taking just for the sake of taking pictures, and taking "cool" pictures is definitely an interest of mine: tinkering with
HDR, macro lenses, etc. One of these days I'll make a point of doing some more photo-oriented adventures like urban exploring, and they'll all make it to my Gallery when that happens.

Cameras
Whether I'm on a bike or not, I usually have a Camera with me. My iPhone is almost always in my pocket, and if it's a mountain bike ride or a typical evening on the town, I'll have my
Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS that San gave me for Christmas 2008. I hadn't had a point-and-shoot since my
Canon S200 in College, which was replaced with a used
Canon 10D, which was replaced with a new
Canon 20D, which was replaced with my current DSLR: a
Canon 40D purchased in May 2008. A
Canon 7D is the next camera on my list, but I likely won't be getting it soon as I can't justify the expense yet. Before the S200, I've had a number of film cameras and I'm slowly scanning all of my prints. Some day they will all be uploaded here! (or just the good ones atleast)

Lenses (etc)
The film cameras I had and point and shoots were easy, but this whole DSLR thing means lenses galore.
