The spending continues…
I bought my first DSLR in 2007 because I wanted to take some ill shots of my car. And now it has turned into an $8000 (and counting) investment. When I started this 3 years ago I never imagined myself in this deep.
It was never meant to go this far. It was just supposed to be about the car…

So I’ve somehow managed to deplete my AlienBee fund without actually buying an AlienBee, LOL. I don’t really need it yet – I was just going to get it because I had the money for it. But since that’s all gone, I guess I’ll stick to my trusty hotshoe flashes for now. With that said, I just bought a Manfrotto Heavy Duty Boom and Stand – $356.80. Shipping isn’t cheap on this sucker because it weighs over 35 lbs!
It should be here this Friday so I can play with it this weekend. 
Onto what I’ve been up to, which isn’t much.
I went out a couple weeks ago with my buddy, Martin Kane, to shoot the SD skyline. The weather was perfect as it had just rained and we got some awesome clouds in the sky.
With that I created this:
Also broke out my lighting for some scenic portraits.
^^^This actually gave me idea and inspiration for my shoot next Friday with my old friend, Angela Vamos. Can’t wait for that!
And here are some quick shots I took of my buddy Mike’s 335.
I know exactly how you feel, especially since I’ve recently picked up some ABs/stands/modifiers/triggers. I’m probably around $7K of gear with most of it since last November, and I still haven’t picked up a 70-200 f/2.8L IS yet.
Keep up the good work.
It’s definitely a bottomless pit. I don’t think anyone has all the gear they want. There’s always something else.
