Tools of the trade: Olympus C5050Z and Photoshop.

Other than that, not much. I prefer my photos fresh from nature, with no additional manipulation by myself. And if I do photomanipulation, be assured I will never use stock I didn't shoot myself... that would be cheating.

If you want to see my art, look into spiegelscherben which is where I post my dabbles in graphical art (which I have been at for much longer than photography, but that's another story).
