PhotoJ. - What to buy on a $4K budget?

[FidelCastrovich]

I highly doubt that. You will be surprised how fast (if you are going to shoot professionally) you find out you need more or better gear that's just the nature of the game.

I know! Isn't it grand?!

DSLR noob - i know, all the extras will be bought locally.

I'm starting out on a long journey to become a professional. This is a start-up kit that i hope will suffice for the next couple of years.

I quit my job yesterday (well, gave notice, at least) and i intend to jump in head-first into the PJ field, as soon as i can.
Will start out on a small scale - University newspaper, local papers, freelancing, some weddings and such on the side, and hopefully, a friend who shoots for a national newspaper will help out down the road, when i feel confident in my capabilities.

I've had this dream for too long - the time has come to make it true.

Wish me luck.
