My addiction
I have so many cameras in my collection (sixty-eight, to be exact), and most of them are functional, so many times I end up not taking a lot of photos just because I can’t decide what camera to use. I usually have film in about four different cameras at once, which means I never get anything developed.
My solution is to narrow my camera use down to a handful of models. I think I came up with the list:
- Nikon D70 - for when I need guaranteed “good” photos
- Canon G2 - for band photos (it’s converted for IR, so great for low-light shows)
- Holga 135BC - carry everywhere camera
- Canon A540 - digital carry everywhere camera when I don’t want to use the Holga; also underwater shots
- Horizon - my new favorite, for events when I think there’ll be good photo ops
- Diana+ - when I want medium format shots; outdoors only
It will be tempting to drag out some other models, and I very well might do so if I think the subject warrants it. But I will try my hardest to limit myself to only those cameras listed above.
