I just finished my 63rd year on the 18th of September. My clients will not know, care about the increase image file size nor will they pay an increased fee for me to purchase an M9. I simply "want" one. Meanwhile, My '93 Saturn is in the shop with a sway bar getting rebuilt, new rotors and pads, and a new belt tensioner installed. The heating season has begun. Will an M9 make me a better photographer? Unfortunately not. Will an M9 create a larger, more profitable, market for my work? Probably not. Is my current gear sufficient to produce high quality work? Yes. Do I need the $7K more than an M9? Yes. But, I "want" an M9. What can I sell to buy an M9? ;~) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Oct 6, 2009, at 3:03 AM, Mark Rabiner wrote: > My perspective is important its hard not to think at 59 I'm almost > dead. > Of course when I'm 69 and then 79 I'll look back at these days as > youthful > beginnings.
