I'm a hobbyist photographer who's gradually learning different aspects of photography. My current kit:

Canon EOS 550D
Canon ES-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Tamron 90mm macro
Metz 44 AF-1 flash
Samsung Galaxy S III

The books I've found useful:

Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson
Photographer's Eye by Michael Freeman
