I dream of Cameras #7 Deadly Sins

The Seven Deadly Sins

 

Jeff and Gabe return to inspire all us sinners!

 

• pride: showing off, bringing an exotic camera to a photo walk or camera show, etc. – the antidote: extending a hand to new photographers (as opposed to snarking “go Google it” in Facebook groups)

 

• envy: camera envy – where does it get you? has it ever resulted in a good acquisition?

 

• lust: what’s your Grail Camera?

 

• sloth: letting cameras languish on the shelf – are pure shelf queens OK?

 

• wrath: getting angry at your gear – have you ever hit a camera?

 

• greed and gluttony: accumulating for the sake of same, and how to step away from it – the need for instant gratification – how to donate cameras (FPP school donation program), giving analog cameras to new parents, etc.

 

• finally: what we need isn’t new film cameras, but guys and gals who can repair the ones we have – scholarship?
