Camera Dilemma

A little over two weeks ago, Jeff plugged my camera into the computer and then it died. Not sure if something happened once it was plugged in or if it was just the camera’s time to go.

I was and am still not a happy camper. Not one bit. I don’t like borrowing things from people nor do I like asking. Thankfully two friends have let me borrow their cameras, yet I have more photography work to do and then have been asked to photograph an event this Saturday coming up. So what do I?

Wing it.

I have no other choice, I don’t have the money to be shelling out $1,700 for a Canon 7D. But I thought I could maybe get some help, but that didn’t go over so well. I was told everything except “F**k no.” Yes, I know I’m not a professional thank you for shoving that in my face, but if I’m going to get a new camera, it’s not going to be a step down or the smallest step forward that I can take.

So what do I do? Pay my bills, it’s all I can do. Put some money aside, but it won’t be enough to get a new camera this year or the next. Thankfully I just started a new job, so I have MORE money coming in than a month ago. But still, not going to happen anytime soon.

Oh and my 300 lens stop working about a week before the camera stopped. Amazing!

On that note, anyone want to donate to the “I Need A Camera” fund?
