I love gear! Not just photography gear, but pretty much any new, shiny tech toy. I’ll admit that I spend more time than I should reading camera and lens reviews; usually when I don’t have the time or opportunity to go out and shoot. But, this past Friday, instead of browsing for gear, I decided to dive into my digital shoebox. I fired up Lightroom and started looking through my pictures of Hong Kong from last year. This not only brought back great memories, but also allowed me to find the following two shots that were sitting untouched in my Lightroom library. I spent a bit of time working with them and came away with two images I really love. So next time the urge strikes to browse for gear, try opening up your digital shoebox first. I guarantee it’ll be much more rewarding creatively and a lot friendlier on the pocketbook.
