Really love this video and the questions you brought up. Also, loved the pic of the woman kicking. Fun how you allow some blur into your pics because those come out more interesting to me. What I think I love about street is that it's NOT posed. What I love about portrait is that it's a creative endeavor. What's right down the middle of the two is that you tend to want people as subjects for both, and I love seeing pictures of people. :)
LOVE the part about the joy of new gear and where that takes you. A few months back, I bought a 10 year old Sony A6000 and a couple of lenses. Loved it. But that deep urge to have a Fujifilm x100vi overtook me and I bought one on eBay (for more than list price, because why not make it even MORE of a sin?). I keep both on the desk right next to each other as a reminder that I'm good. I have a fixed lens and I have an interchangeable lens. I have an old camera, and I have of the newest cameras. I have these two guys, and also over the last 15 or so years, I have 3 little point and shoots, too. So 5 in all. I think five is plenty. :) (Too many)
Thanks for the kind words, Chris! Really appreciate this! Haha, the 5 cameras is actually cool to have. I currently try to stick to 3. The trinity I will actually use in different scenarios. If I stop using one of the cameras, I sell it and get another one. However having something like "plenty" is impossible for us, photographers I guess. The urge of having another one will eventually take over 😅 It's just a matter of time. But hey, you gotta have some addiction in life, right? I'd love to get the X100VI, but for the price I can get the A7C2 which will be more effective in the long run. I really wish that X100's would go back to the price they sold before the X100V(which is of course impossible now, especially that Fuji admitted that they will continue the low supply to keep the high demand and prices). But never say never - as my wallet gets thicker I may succumb to the X100VI in the future :) Cheers and keep collecting them cameras!

Digging your thoughts here. Best of luck on the new journey!
Thank you!
