I saw this interesting post on forum, which kept me thinking: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&message=28792203
when we (perhaps I should say I) take photography as a hobby, is it because of the creative/artistic side of it, or the shopping/consumer/can-buy-yet-another-gadget side of it? I have to admit a lot of the time I enjoyed the gadget fondling side of photography more than standing in the cold weather and waiting for the right light part of it. Does this craving for new gadgets stands in the way of improving my photography skill? Granted, new technology can really help you to get the shoot more easily, but do I spend too much time mastering the camera settings and photoshop skills instead of cultivating my own vision?
Well, I guess I don't have to ponder about it for too long now. Since I quit my regular job, I will not be able to afford expensive gadgets for a while. It's time to do the real work. Let's see how things improved.
