And says “I’m selling all my gear and going all in Mirrorless.”
And, that’s it. Yes, I am doing it folks! I’ve been working on selling off all my DSLR equipment…still in process. But, I’m doing it! Don’t believe it can be done? Here’s a pro who has made it happen…
Can’t wait to share samples when I make the transition, but look for those to come soon!
I love taking whatever camera I happen to have near me on my morning walks…today all I had on me was my Samsung Galaxy S2 cell phone, ha ha. It might not be “pro” qual, but I had fun with the world’s simplest point-and-shoot, I mean why not?
Note to self: I love photography. I love cameras. I’ve even gotten bitten by the “tech” side of my equipment. I love taking people’s portraits. I love taking pictures of things. And, if it’s suddenly just not that simple and basic, then I’ve gotten sidetracked. String on finger. Note on forehead. All aboard the choo-choo train! In case your wondering “what the ?” Sometimes being a photographer can be a challenge. Just like everything else in life, yup!
Nikon d600 mint condition. Still have box, booklet, CD, charger, and cables. Also selling a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 G lens including UV filter and lens hood also mint condition. Selling both as a package for $1800.
I have been completely immersed in a photographer’s world for so long now it’s hard to look beyond thinking in terms of images. My background is also graphic design, but it has been a while. I am learning #adobeillustratorCS6 which is amazing! The funny thing is that every time I go to design a logo or flyer I find myself dragging an image into the concept. Do I embrace this as my “thing” or “style,” or do I keep pushing to go beyond images to more graphically driven concepts? I suppose it depends on what I am designing, or whom I am designing it for. Left to myself, even it is only a silhouette or trace of an image I feel more “connected” to the design. Perhaps I can consider my style “organic?” Is there such a thing? Or, maybe I can consider myself supercool and “with it” since any social media or marketing guru can tell you most of us have become image obsessed. I like a little texture or pattern with my font, thank you.
Last night I was @ a networking dinner meeting, and who knew networking could be so exciting! And, dramatic! Thunder, lightning, monsoon rains with tepid a temperature that kept us @ our table outside under the awning and next to a bonfire. Wow! We ordered “tapas’ style as a group with wine tasting and great conversation. @seasons52 it was divine!
My SIL loves doing extra work. It’s something she really gets a kick out of. Of course, whenever she gets a new look we’ve got to update her headshots and get to play. Keep your eye out…you never know, you just might see her walk across the screen on TV!
Not so pretty
