One of my photos was part of the recent Nexus 5 launch and marketing campaign, for instance.
I do most of my photo editing and processing at home on a 2008 8-core Mac Pro with 8 GB of RAM and a 30" Dell 3007WFP.
For pretty much everything else I use an 11" MacBook Air.
Speaking of photography, I now use a Canon 5D Mk III for all of my landscape work.
For street, travel, portrait and personal photography I rely on a Leica M.
My equipment is carefully chosen to fit in a small Domke F-803 shoulder bag.

TextMate is my swiss-army knife for everything else.

Photoshop Lightroom+ 86 others
After trying numerous alternatives years ago, I have settled on Lightroom to do all of my photo editing and processing.

I work at Google where I've spent the past 6 years helping ship every version of Android.
