Photography Sacrifices

[480sparky]

I give up smoking ciggies, hard liquor, fast women, having 9,985 sports channels, buying 12 CDs every week, having a thumpy-thump stereo and spinners on my truck, and spending $250/month on a cell phone just to fund my NAS.

Of course, even without being afflicted with NAS, I wouldn't spend my money of any of that crap anyway.

I now really would like to know what exactly "fast women" is supposed to be. :mrgreen:

 

[Steve5D]

Well it could be a sacrifice as those could become an investment...

Oh, the "investment level" stuff is still here...

 

[Joshonator]

I think he meant "easy women" but I could be wrong since those don't cost anything.

I once went without beer for two weeks so that I could buy film. That is about the extent of the sacrifices I've made.

Sold a Colt 1911 and a Kimber 1911 to fund my D700. I still miss that Kimber.

That sucks. I know your pain. Sold a Kimber Custom Target to pay the bills once. Never again...

I will go without cable/internet/whatever before I sell another gun.

 

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Haha, I agree

 

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Wow, a lot of people are talking about sacrificing things for their Nikon D700 or 800. They're like a curse camrras

I don't plan on selling any more. I kept my Kimber UCII and honestly, the Grand Raptor I sold was more a show peice than something I actually carried or shot a lot with.

This was around the time my daughter was born, and I found myself interested in a completely different kind of 'shooting'.

And actually, now that I think about it, it was a D90 not a D700.

 

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Selling your gun wasn't really a sacrifice towards photography, but towards your daughter, you had to sacrifice your passion for something else that your even more passionate about

If you need, I have around 300 recipes for Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter is cheap, nutritious and goes a long way. I have bought a 300mm f2.8 and 400mm f2.8 on a Peanut Butter diet.
