I've lost them countless number of times in various locations, but can never seem to find them again. One of the best parts abou Ebay is that you can find direct low cost alternatives to many things. Lens caps can be affordable if you know where to look. I've ordered 10 lens caps to keep at the studio at all times just so I have a lens cap when and where I need it. Here are some readily available lens caps for cheap:

While there is a lot of cheap photography gear out there that is junk and not worth spending money on some of it can be a diamond in the rough. So if you're looking for some cheap photography gear to get you started or just need something in a pinch here is some decent cheap gear.

These handy little pieces of transparency can take a white backdrop from white to any color backdrop you can imagine.

Take it one step further and run a color transparency through your handy printer and you can get patterned backdrops. Ebay is definitely your friend on this one. I've listed a few of the better deals out there below:

Luckily this spring is going to be super busy, so I won't be worried about the rain that will inevitably come through April. Big things are on the immediate horizon - and by big I mean huge.

If you are looking to book a photo session now is the time. My spring schedule always fills up very quickly so book your session today!

Stay tuned for more, much more.
