Thank you, Rob. The older I get, the less I want to deal with website stuff. But I’m still shooting so I need to be better disciplined. I have more print sales from my website than I ever did from social media. I can’t do architectural photography anymore for physical reasons. Too much up and down. 🤣So print sales are vital.
I hope all is well with you. I will be more active here now, I hope, but not in any political way.
Best, Sharon
It’s tough when the mortal coil begins to make itself heard. Not long after buying myself a massive Gitzo tripod I realised that carrying the thing was killing my ability to walk for long distances after getting out of the car. Just like that, it became redundant, because short of hiring a mule, the only way to transport it was via a converted wheelie shopping bag.I removed the bag, fitted a
plastic tray to the base, and lashed the tripod to the uprights. Worked okay, but made such a big deal out of going out to use a long lens that I lost interest. I used it just long enough to get some interesting shots with my old 500 reflex Nikkor.
Now, even carrying a dslr with a normal lens on it feels a bit over the top, so it’s become iPhone or nothing. I still have the old Nikon stuff - a granddaughter has taken up Nikon photography - so one day, the stuff will find a new home, possibly ending up in the photographic museum she will feel obliged to create. ;-)
I suppose that in my case, with my mindset, photography as amateur feels free, but directly because if that, quite without much personal justification for doing it, and, thus, without value, either. We all carry burdens up there.
