What's New6 June 2006 My email address is now working. Just click on the email address at the bottom of any page on this site. I've posted a new article, called Nature Photography FAQ. It can be found on the Essays page, which, in turn, can be found on the Articles page. In it, I give direct answers to questions I frequently get asked. I will continue to add questions and answers over time. If you have any unanswered questions you'd like me to address, please email them to me. I've also updated Close-Up Lens Considerations, adding a bit more information, in a few places. It can be found on the Quick Takes page, which can be found on the Articles page.

This entire website is new, just now coming online. It is so new, in fact, that it still incomplete. I've only posted a few dozen pictures; there are still numerous dead links and various errors; and my email address is not yet functional. Please bear with me patiently while I finish building this site as quickly as possible. Until my new email address becomes functional, please contact me at mikespinak @gmail.com (remove the space after the letter "k" to make this address work). You can view my photo gallery by clicking on the Photos buttons at the top and at the bottom of this page. This gallery will be growing quickly, so please check back, again. So far, I have posted six articles: Professional Nature Photography: The Price of Admission Lowepro Off Trail 2 Trekker Beltpack Review Once I have the basics of my website fleshed out, I will be posting more articles frequently.
