Bought Some New Toys

[Tee]

I very recently made a big transition in life going from full time employed to college student. Over the last year I put a little aside each month as treat to myself for this transition so I would be guilt free in buying things I always wanted. I went to Allen's Camera (of Fro Knows/ Jared Polin reviews) and picked up some stuff I've wanted but didn't really need. I should add that if you're in the Philly area, the crew at Allen's Camera were wicked cool and very knowledgeable. They will be my go-to shop from here on out, despite the incredibly pretentious camera shop 1 mile from my apartment who looked at me like I had 4 heads when I asked if they had Cinefoil.

Anyways, here's what I picked up:

• Wescott X-Drop portable backdrop and stand (and 2 backdrops) - as someone with 17 nieces and nephews, I've become in demand so this thing packs easy and does a quick and easy job.
• Sekonic 458DR - My Shepard Polaris did a fine job but I wanted something with PocketWizard features
• X-Rite Color Passport Checker- why did I wait so long to buy one!?
• Elinchrom D-lite 200ws - this fourth monolight rounds my lighting kit as a hair light/ kicker
• Matthews C stand- again, why did I wait so long!?
• Pocket Wizard Plus X - needed a few more
• Rolling moonlight case - holds all my lights, cables, power pack and reflectors
• Nikon MB-D10 Battery Grip- for my second D700 body

That's a lot of coin but I was guilt free and enjoyed buying it.

Congrats on the new stuff. Now get out there and use it and post pictures. Although, you know SOMEONE will say, "Without Pictures, it didn't happen."
