“No vice
is so bad
as advice”

~ Marie Dressler
Actress
Born on: 9th November 1868

Porte Ponderings:

Photographers are always looking for newer, smaller, faster, better.

They should never go to Camera Events that let you borrow their equipment for hands on experience. Now I want a new camera and a new lens.

Do I need it? No.
But I’m of an age where if I lust after it I should get it for myself.

Does anyone else even see the difference between my D750 and the Z7II?
Probably not. But I can.

Should I or shouldn’t I?
That is the five thousand dollar question.

“No one can claim to be called Christian
who gives money for the building of warships and arsenals”

~ Belva Ann Lockwood
Women’s rights activist and lawyer
Born on: 24th October 1830

Porte Ponderings:

And yet more funds are being sent to the Ukraine and Israel to continue fighting. The Palestinians in Gaza, and now Lebanon continue to be killed. Genocide is being financially supported. Pain and suffering continues while humanitarian efforts are being targeted and slowed.
