Kirk Tuck is a very successful commercial photographer from Austin Texas. He is an expert on lighting, an extremely good portrait photographer, and a good businessman, He is also a good writer, who can produce some very helpful, interesting and informative blog posts.
And he is also an unrepentant gearhead, with the inclination and means to buy any camera he wants. So he basically does what I wish I could do. He has a love affair with every brand of camera whenever a new model strikes his fancy.
Tuck is fascinated by new technology. He also loves old technology. He has used just about every type, format and brand of camera both film and digital.
The interesting thing about Tuck is that he is a gearhead with no particular brand loyalty. He is like the "Don Juan of Gear" who has brief and passionate affairs with every interesting and attractive new camera. He gets passionate about a brand, until some other brand does something even newer and more interesting. Then he just moves on.
Naturally, some brand loyalists find his many infidelities offensive. But I find it refreshing. And honest. It is exactly what I would do if I had the means to do it.
If Ken Rockwell was a much better photographer, much more knowledgeable, much more objective, and a much better writer, then he could be just like Kirk Tuck!
