As a professional photographer I depend on the flawless performance of my equipment.  From my camera bodies and lenses to my computers and software, each tool is critical to delivering quality photographs to my clients. This absolutely holds true for my memory cards as well, which is why I've used only SanDisk CF and SD cards in all of my cameras since I bought my first DSLR way back in 2004. Interestingly, I actually still have in my camera bag the SanDisk 1GB Extreme III CF card that I bought for a whopping USD$250 when I purchased my Nikon D70 nearly eight years ago.

Using only SanDisk cards has benefited me in a number of ways over the years.  For example, I've never lost even a single photograph due to a damaged or corrupted memory card.  And on a couple of (tense) occasions, I've even been able to successfully restore photographs that I mistakenly deleted from my camera.  Recently, however, my loyalty to SanDisk paid off the most when I was asked to join the SanDisk Extreme Team, "a group of professional photographers whose vision is as uncompromising as their equipment".

I feel extremely honoured to be part of this small club and I look forward to working closely with SanDisk and my fellow Extreme Team photographers to create the most exciting and compelling photography I can in the years ahead.
