About Ron Martinsen
Photographer. Long-time blogger. Unapologetic gear nerd. I built RonMartBlog around real-world photography, practical editing, and no-fluff reviews—written for people who actually shoot.
What this site is (and isn’t)
Thanks for visiting. I no longer blog the crazy 40 hours per week that I used to when normal people would sleep. I decided to scale back in 2014 and now I blog only occasionally for fun.
It was a great ride and lots of fun, so I thank the several millions of people who stopped by to read and support my blog for many years.

Day Job Disclosure
While photography is a big part of my professional life (and something I rely on to support my family), by day I’m also a Principal Product Architect at Microsoft (see LinkedIn). None of the views or opinions here represent Microsoft and instead are 100% my personal opinion based on my blog research.

Prefer the older disclosure page? You can still read it here: https://www.ronmartblog.com/2009/10/ftc-disclosure.html
