After thirty years as a freelancer, I take a certain amount of pride in not having any current gear. I own a couple 5DIV's, EF L's, Profoto Pro 7b, Acute2 and M2 MBP to name a few.
Thanks, that was a lot to think about. Especially the budgeting section. Even though I am just a hobbyist, I now realize that I need to come up with a plan.
Daniel, I just seen your video you just put online. I think it’s one of the finest realistic ways of communicating to all photographers about the dues and don’ts about the wants versus the needs after seeing this, I decided to subscribe. If I ever find myself back in New York and we should meet I would like to shake your hand. Thank you so much for your honesty. In the way you share your stories with the public. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Daniel! Great advice.
Want is a very strong emotion to suppress. Need is a practical approach that I have learned to adopt- grudgingly. Thanks Daniel.

My pleasure!
I go for used gear alot
If you shoot a lot of landscape in and around the ocean, your tripod and equipment will disintegrate astonishingly quickly.
A great vid Mr. Norton.

Thank You!
very useful
Where is the software links?
Daniel, I really appreciate your insight into this side of the business. I am an accomplished motorsports photographer who has decided to venture down the studio photography path. Out of the thousands of content creators out there, I have have your videos to be the most helpful with easy to understand guidance and sensibility over technicality prowess. Also, philsophically, I can really relate to your instruction style. In closing, will you please post the different types of software you use? Thanks again!
What size screen laptop do you use? I have a 16 inch display though its a bit much to carry around and doesn't fit into many camera packs.
