I’m a hopeless gear addict.  If there ever was a walking definition of a person with Gear Aquisition Syndrome (GAS) it would be me and I am sure possibly you.  After all, there are not too many photographers that don’t suffer from GAS.  In the past, Michael and I sat down twice a year and compared our new acquisitions.  For this video Chris joins me as we carry on the Toy Shop tradition.  We have a lot of new gear to share and we’ll have even more for the next Toy Shop video as things are moving very fast and since we did the video there have been a number of new acquisitions made.  Exciting times for a photographer especially if you are into new technology.

We are in the process of field testing a lot of cameras and accessories.  Since I’ll be gone most of November leading a full ship of photographers to South Georgia and Antarctica I anticipate that December will be a month full of gear reviews and possible information about some new cameras still to be released this year.  Please enjoy this video.  Links to the items mention in the video are below.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
