New gear isn't always the answer

Photography isn't about the gear. or should I say, it's not ONLY about the gear.

The following video was a recommendation made to me by YouTube, so I watched it.  I found myself agreeing with what he said so I thought I'd share it.

I hop it's useful to somebody.

Watch TWIP

I'm starting to recover my vision. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

In the meantime, I ran across this Web site and found that I really like most of their podcasts and videos.  This site may be known to many of my photography friends.  But, I wanted to share.

I found this video on YouTube and found it pretty interesting, so I thought I'd share it.

Dear Canon

I would love to see a "retro" dslr aimed at semi-pros and above, A full frame, maybe something like the old AE-1 but with an EF lense mount and a good auto focus system . Of course I could never afford such a camera. But I think it would be popular. Oh well, I still can't see well enough to use the camera I have.

What kind of photographer are you?

My vision seems to be improving; with any luck, I'll be able to get behind my camera again soon.

As I've been recovering, I've been listening to a lot of podcasts about photography and I see so many  different "labels", for example, sports, portraits or wildlife and so on.

After a bit of thought, I've decided to label myself simply as a photographer. Assuming that I can do it in the future.  I have so many interests that I I enjoy photographing that I just don't feel right in limiting my options to just one type of photography.
