I’m a gear junkie. I know I have a problem. While many apologize for it, I do not.

My preferences have shifted over time and I’ve stopped hunting for the better autofocus, the higher fps, the super sensor. I love the technology, but I just want an easy way to adjust aperture, ss, and iso.

A lot of awesome gear has come and gone, and I hold on to what inspires me or whose aesthetic I love.
