Hey guys,
I've shot with everything and it ain't your equipment.  I've even won a
professional best in show with a 35MM throwaway camera.  The guys who judged
the gorgeous snow scene over a lake with snow birds and canadian geese and
barn wanted to know WHY I printed it a black & white on color paper.  It was
a COLOR SHOT, not black & white.........but it was so moody it looked bl &
white................got a great laugh at that.........That was 17 years
ago.  Infrared, slides calendars, cards for Hallmark, covers of Westminster
winners, dogs, models, airline parts, celebrities............shot with
pinholes, Mamiya, Hasselblad, old Canon, Nikons,   JUST KEEP SHOOTING.
NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER STOP!
Rosemary

Hello Gary,

24-70 and 70-200... Ah yes, the gateway drugs^H^H^H^H^Hlenses. I started
out on that same path, but then got hooked on primes... 

I've been clean for about 6 months now, but I often wake up in cold
sweats having been dreaming about the dreaded 85L1.2

I used to have B&H on speed dial.. I even joined Photoshop users just
because of free shipping from B&H... worked out cheaper that paying
shipping on my nearly weekly orders. Yeah, I had it real bad..

Anyway.. I tend to agree.. I think most of these pro trips are mostly
"hey, I got to shoot with `insert name here`"

Sure, you might get a tip or two, but if you read their (the pros) books
you'll likely learn the same tips for less money
