written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com Today I want to talk about the Think Tank Airport Navigator. My husband and I don’t get each other gifts for Christmas. What we do instead is each year we pick out one thing that we’d really like and buy it for ourselves. We have done it this way for […]

November 28, 2012 by 4 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com Recently I was asked to take portraits for a Ladies English Tea event at our church. The ladies would be dressing up in their fancy hats and we wanted to do some photobooth style pictures. And I thought it would be fun, so I said “yes”! I knew that my […]

September 26, 2012 by 8 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com Today’s review is about the fabulous little Nifty Fifty! This lens is a gem! It’s small, fast, and incredibly sharp! (priced between $289 used -$329 new) When I was shooting with my D90 (and before I got my 60mm) this lens was on my camera 99% of the time! […]

Gear Review | Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home
September 6, 2012 by 6 Comments
written by Beckie of beckiegkengle.com I am still in search of the perfect bag, and I have begun to wonder if such a thing really exists. I don’t have a whole lot of gear (D700 and 4 lenses). I wanted something big enough to hold my gear but also somewhat on the smaller side. I […]
