Daily Inspiration #413 by Feininger’s Cat

Hey Steve!

Here’s my submission to your Daily Inspiration series!

I recently deleted all of my photos off my Flickr account, sifted through years of photos i have taken on my hard drive and newly edited 16 of them i deem to be my best. They can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/feiningers-cat/

I had quite a severe case of GAS in the last two years but fortunately you can not only buy cams on Amazon but also sell them there. So yeah, I lost quite some money this way but I regard that as a rental fee for all the nice cams I got to try. After all photography is my hobby and hobbies don’t make money but give you fun and I sure had fun. Anyway, now I ended up with a Sony RX1, a NEX-5N with the F1.8 50mm and an Olympus E-PM2 with the F1.8 75mm and I guess that’s all I need for now. The RX1 puts a pretty hard damper on any new camera lust that might emerge as there is hardly any better cam out there that is not either way too huge or way too expensive for me 🙂

Anyway, I’ll spare you with any further grandpa Simpson stories and present you some of my favorite photos from the last three years. You can pick the three you like most or post them all, it’s up to you! Thanks for looking at them and keep up the good work, I really enjoy your site as it’s quite informative and as i feel less crazy when i see how much money you spend on photo gear 😀

Sincerely,

  1. Nice work!

    On the subject of GAS, I’ve been paring down over the last three years myself. I think my final kit will look like this: E-PM2 with a Panasonic 20mm f1.7 for walkaround, and the Panny 14mm f2.5 for landscape and Olympus 45mm f1.8 for portrait work.

    Ordered the VF-3 today, not sure if it’s going to be part of my workflow or not.

    Still seriously debating over whether or not to keep the Panny 12-35mm f2.8. Not sure if it will ever really get a workout again.

    • I had GAS pretty bad too – with all the strobes, umbrellas, DSLR bodies, stacks of lenses… I whittled down to the Leica ME, Lux 50, Biogon 35 and an unused Voigtländer 4/21. So much better now!
