Hi, I'm Richard or rjsteih. I live in southern Michigan. I like the outdoors, camping, kayaking, bicycling, hunting, fishing, and...oh yeah photography. I take pictures for myself. It is a great hobby to relax with. Lately I have been more occupied with home life as my new wife and I have two baby girls. Kids do provide great photo ops. I am mostly a Canon guy. I have a Canon EOS Elan II film body and a Canon EOS 10D digital. With these I have a Tamron 28-200mm F4-5.6, a Tamron 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 Macro, a Canon 50mm F1.8 mkII, and my latest is a Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6. I also have a Holgamods Holga lens that was "professionally" mounted to a Canon body cap. I also carry a Pentax Optio WP in my pocket everywhere.
