No way an assistant could pay for itself. At least I don't think so, and I
don't really have the capital to give it a go. I think I'm pretty much stuck as
a one-man operation, so I have to decide how to keep that one man busy in
pursuit of his bliss.
Not ready to ditch it all, though truth to tell, while the Triumph and X-100
line was basically a throw away, I haven't actually trashed it yet. There's a
certain appeal. <g>

As Dr Sheldon Cooper says on the Big Bang Theory, "Bazinga!" That's pretty much
it. But I'd rather sit at the cat box and eat turds than shoot weddings. I'm
just not that much of a people person. Really, as charming and easy-going as I
come across, I couldn't handle weddings. I'd go all postal on their stuck-up
asses. <g>
Good food for thought. Thanks.
Anyone know a bag company that makes a motorcycle tank bag that would hold a
small but complete DSLR kit? <g>
