Definitely agree with that last sentence. The kicker is that when I got my first film camera as a gift, I was ecstatic with it. For 20 years or so, I owned only that camera. I didn't go through photo magazines (remember those?) lusting over the latest and greatest. I used my camera and enjoyed it. So I ask myself, what changed? I don't know, but I'm focusing very hard on returning to that state of mind.sickness....that's what it is. It's a very specific mental illness. At least I think it is for most people. And like any illness, not everyone suffers from it to the same degree. I'm aware of it in myself....and I've gotten better at battling at in the last year or so. But it still plagues me. I really should just stop going to gear websites.....that would definitely help.

I am trying very hard to just cultivate an attitude of gratitude, and just create the best photos I can.
