RE: An unexpected splash of criticism

I'm told that's the best way to make money in photography - to sell camera gear!
LOL. Tell you this, I had photography as a side gig for about ten years, I quit in 2018 to start a family. I didn't sell any of my photography gear as I use it for my personal needs. I guess I could have made some money selling my Canon 5D Mark 3 and my set of L lenses as well as soft boxes, beauty dish and ring flash, but I like having it for my own needs.
Unless you have a reason like me to quit photography I would ignore the criticism. I do miss my nice stream of revenue from the side gig...
Here is one of my images from around ten years ago:

Softboxes take up so much space...
Nice lighting. Never sell good glass! Cameras are at a point now where other than auto focus working at more and more stops on bodies, in lower and lower light, theres not much more advancement to come.
I mean I think we were there with the 5dm3 and d750, and the original A Sony S.
Sure autofocus and colour depth gets better... but last generation tech still punches well, well above its value on the 2nd hand market!
The lighting was a fill from a beauty dish as I was shooting against the sun and we were on top of my boat house :)
