are you a photographer??

i'm sure if u are reading this then you know who i am and also who i'm married to...

well.. my wife is a photographer a full time professional one. occasionally, i help her shoot at some weddings or other assignments which require a 2nd photographer.

i have to admit that taking photos, good photos, can actually be very interesting. it is very rewarding and encouraging to hear that people actually pay for your services to help them capture their happiest day of their life.. the wedding...

on top of what you get from all that, you also look cool carrying gears around your workspace.
i do have to admit that i'm more of the person who is interested in the gear than rather the shooting. dont get me wrong, i like helping my wife take photos, but collecting equipments and also using them is just cool too... really cool...

so it goes back to the point, do u really need cool equipments to take cool photos??? its really depends on what you have actually, if you have a low end camera, then i suppose you'll argue that skill is much more important than the gear....

but if u have the best lenses... gears and everything... then taking photos are really really easy..
i remember holding my wife's camera with a few really cool lenses and i was really amazed that hey..... decent average skill + high end gears = cool photos......

but hey... dont be discouraged if u dont own a 40 d or a 5d or a d3, keep taking good photos and spend more time on PhotoShop or something.. it really does make a cool difference.

anyways, got to go for now.... remember.... i'm a strong believer that if u want to take good photos... than get good gears.....

just like how manchester united can win big cups with big players... arsenal with young players will find it hard to win stuff!...

hurry up n launch the new 5d II or 7d... or whatever it is...
