Disclosure

The opinions expressed here are 100 per cent those of Steve Simon, for better or worse. (Unless it’s a guest post.) When I talk products, I’m an unabashed Nikon fan and supporter because Nikon has been there for me my entire photographic life. I know they are just tools, but can’t a guy have a love affair with the gear that brings joy to my photography and life? I know there are a lot of good tools out there, but I choose Nikon for the ultimate in usability and lens quality.

Another supporter where I maintain a  two-way relationship is with SanDisk, my memory card of choice. SanDisk invented many of the memory cards I use and they have never let me down. I would not trust what may be the most important cog in the photo machine with anything other than their cards. I am on the SanDisk Extreme team and with that honor comes the occasional free memory card, which saves me from buying them retail.

Speaking of irreplaceable, my archives might be my most precious asset other than the living things in my life. LaCie is the basket where I put all my photographic eggs with confidence. I can choose any hard drive company but I chose to build a relationship with LaCie.  I love their aesthetics  and design, but most important I trust their drives and the people in the company I have met, all of whom are as dedicated and passionate as I am to maintaining the highest quality and security with something as precious as images that can never be repeated. That said, redundant back-up is always my advice when it comes to securing your digital images, whatever the storage container.

I am setting up my Amazon Influencer Storefront. “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.” If you’re interested in any of the stuff I love, by clicking the link for your purchase you pay no premium and I may get a little something too. It all helps. Check it out here
