At least where I live, days away form any rental house,  the go to item for

Kind of a joke there Frank. Let me know how many wedding photographers you 
know who shoot with $30k+ cameras and then we'll talk about how the average 
wedding photographer makes $30k a year.

And in reality, if the bride thinks my $20 Holga images are stunning, then 
what is the point of Hassy history? How brides even know what a Hassy is? 0 
percent?
