greglawler.com is my photography marketing site.
gear:
the cameras i use most of the time are a holga 120 film camera and a digital nikon d200 with a 17-55mm dx lens. many of my photographer friends are moving away from film which is convenient because they are a great source of free film for me 
processing:
i shoot digital images in raw format (unless the camera only produces jpegs) and generally process my images minimally, mainly because i don’t have the patience to work in photoshop for too long. if i spend more than about 10 min on an image i begin to hate it
I do most of my post processing in the adobe photoshop cs3 and photoshop lightroom applications.
i develop my black and white film myself and scan the results on a hi-res epson flatbed scanner. i use a local lab to process my colour film which i also scan with the epson scanner.

zinkwazi:
Besides just being a cool looking word, zinkwazi is the Zulu plural for “African Fish Eagle” (Haliaeetus vocifer), the singular of which is ‘nkwazi.
The ‘nkwazi looks similar to a bald eagle and is pictured below:
There is also a place called Zinkwazi Beach located on the north eastern coast of South Africa where I (Greg Lawler) spent a few great high school years before settling in Santa Barbara, California.
