Too many gear to choose from but DON"T WANT TO SELL

I find that sometimes it can be a good thing to NOT use the "appropriate" camera for the job. Limitations can lead to some pretty interesting and unique results.

My problem is I usually gravitate towards big, slow and cumbersome cameras, something I regret every time I travel (which I do a lot). But then I see the results, and all that back pain seems worth it, or so I tell myself.

Creativity is a cruel and demanding mistress.

I'm of mixed standing on this, on one hand I just love lugging big impractical cameras around, but sometimes cheese is just the topping that works.

Just about an hour ago I was using my 5D2 with grip and 85L and wasn't getting a satisfactory result no matter what, I was about to freak out, so I grab my 400D with mutilated kit lens panic button and make the best shots of the day.

I think if I had an iPhone I would've gotten a Pulitzer by now.
