Yesterday was my birthday, and what a great day it was!
The Honey and I went to San Francisco to put my old film gear up for consignment. It was very bitter-sweet as I'd traveled the world with that gear and never thought I'd go completely digital. The sad fact is that I haven't shot film in more than 3 years and haven't been in my darkroom in many more.
As I saw all of my old friends sitting there on the counter I felt as if I was abandoning them. But, the trade-off is that someone else will love and use them again and I got a "new" camera. I got a Nikon D700 and will finally have some peace of mind when booking shoots. My old D70 sucked!
So, I am super excited to move forward with my photography career and my life. These last few years have really taken a toll on my confidence and self-esteem and I am really ready to move on!
