He just has to have the latest and greatest gear available, and sells to me what gets replaced with his new gear. I have a collection of the second best bodies and lenses Nikon makes.

He was on a Leica binge for about a year (he has 5 of their bodies and probably 15 of their lenses). He’s now on a Hasselblad binge, with four of their bodies and 10 of their lenses. So, maybe an upgrade in photography equipment is in my future too.

I decided to try and recoup some of the investment by selling my work - I give it freely to my family and friends but they don’t have much wall space left. I opened a display at a local artisans gallery, but didn’t get any traction, and it wound up being a net loss for me after I paid commission on work sold and rental for the wall space.

I considered selling over the internet, but there a bazillions of photos for sale there, and I didn’t want to turn this into a huge drain on my time, so I have bins of photos at my house, and I too have run out of wall space, as has the GF.

If ya happen to see anything you like, I probably already have it printed, or can get it printed easily so just let me know...

Slainte,

Mitch
My friend took these photos with a Hasselbaad body and lens, an umbrella reflector on a tripod, and a honeycomb attachment at the front of the umbrella reflector that acts as a parallax filter - it aligns the light source perpendicular to the subject and removes light scattering for full isolation. I had to wear the hat to avoid the flashback that woulda resulted from my bald spot.
