Photography Sacrifices

[Solarflare]

Peanut butter isnt cheap where I live.

And Nutella .. my poor, poor stomach.

If I would want to save money on food, I would have to eat beans.

We found our dream home a year and a half ago, it was a unique deal and we had a year long closing date .

We had to do some renovations on our house before we put it on the market. Hubby was working long hours to pay for what needed to be done. I stepped up to the plate to do the work with one request, if we made a profit on the house we were trying to sell I would get 2k for my camera.

I taught myself how to do the work, refinished the kitchen, tore out and re drywalled a bathroom, installed a new shower surround, removed/repaired/replaced lath and plaster walls, repaired some wainscoting, painted top to bottom... I'm sure there was more but you get the idea lol

When all was said and done the asking price went up by 20k, within 2 months the house sold for asking price and I got my camera

I fell 30ft off of an old bridge in 2009. I spent eight weeks in a coma, four months rehab. I wore a halo for three months and had to learn to walk again. I am still going to Drs almost weekly dealing with the pain. Hip, lower back and left leg. I coded a couple of times in the operating room. If you don't believe in God I want to show you a bridge and let you hear my story.

Sorry, that would really suck...but I'm having trouble understanding what the sacrifice was

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Nice! PixelRabbit, what was the camera?

What were you trying to shoot, and did you get the shot?

You know what's not cheap... Sunscreen. You would think that it has gold flakes in it for as much money as they want for these tiny bottles.

Ok, you win. That sucks, how did you fall?

I highly doubt, unless you were lifted in the air by gods hand, that your story will be enough evidence to make me belive

Nice! PixelRabbit, what was the camera?

Canon 60d with Canon 18-200

Lol. Nice camera though! And in australia, sunscreen costs less than nutella.

I bet you have to get that spf 10000 for as pale as you are.

An extra 20k and you settled for a 60d. You need to love yourself more. I would have went straight for the 5d mark II. You earned it.

Lol true, life isn't about saving. Photographers don't save...they spend and enjoy!
