As a relatively poor graduate student, my gear list is pretty short. However, in the long run I'd prefer to keep things minimal. For a landscape photographer like myself there's really no reason to be running around with multiple cameras and a full lineup of lenses. Less is definitely more, and the lighter the load that I have to carry the better.
For things like hiking, I only want to take one camera and one or two lenses anyway. Anything more and it starts to get heavy, making me miserable - and there are already plenty of other things capable of making me miserable on a mountain.
Why make a gear page? Because whenever I visit another photographer's site I always wonder what gear they use, and I figured I'm not alone. It doesn't really matter... as long as you're taking great photos, the gear is irrelevant.
I don't always look this ridiculous, I promise!
CURRENT EQUIPMENT
Canon 6D - get it from Amazon
Canon 16-35mm f2.8L II - get it from Amazon
Canon 50mm f1.8 II
On a slightly different note, several years ago I somehow convinced myself to buy a 30-year-old 4x5 field view camera for shooting large format sheets of film (think of the camera Ansel Adams used). It's actually made of wood! However, I don't use it as much as I would like, especially since the price of 4"x5" film in the U.S. has almost doubled over the last few years.
There are still professional photographers who use such cameras, though, so I'm definitely going to keep it around for a while and see if I can motivate myself to start using it more. It would certainly be worth it since you can print large format film at ridiculous sizes (i.e., many feet wide)!
