Unemployment works for me. I dont believe in spending money that's not mine yet, and while it's really no fun, it's kept me debt-free thus far.
Lighting acquisition syndrome is what's been striking me lately, with a set of radio triggers and 3 legacy flashes on their way to my home. It's justified, though: my photography is my sole current source of income, and since clients pay for good photography and good photographs depend on good lighting, controllable lighting is one step closer to controllable income. Or at least that's how I see it.
