Here is a list of a few of the finest photographers I know. The list is incomplete. More will be added.
I encourage you to view their stunning work. Most of it will take your breath away. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these photographers have documented and created some of the finest imaging work of a generation.

How to make your photo editing easier
“There’s an UPstrap bandolier on almost every one of my cameras. Still the best straps I’ve ever used!”
Matthew specializes in high-impact aviation and wildlife visuals for global advertising.

His lifestyle, eyes, and wildlife work is unique.
“Your straps are THE BEST that I have used in over 45 years of shooting Nikons!.”
Based out of Boulder Colorado, Tim is a very busy commercial photographer specializing in high end real estate.
Tim also creates breathtaking travel images and an impressive portfolio of Colorado images.
“What comes to mind for me is a sense of security. I do not worry about the camera slipping off my shoulder.
Even the heavy 70-200 f2.8 becomes a part of me allowing me to search for the next composition.”
I like the way Thomas sums of the photo equipment issue
“That’s why it’s really true that “the best camera is the one you have.” Taking great photos isn’t about choosing the best gear, or acquiring a ton of it. It’s about learning to work within the limitations of whatever gear you have available. If that’s a pro camera, great. But if all you have is a cameraphone — or an Instamatic camera from 1964 — you can still take great photos with it”.
