Hasselblad Lunar and Shoe
Nothing Exceeds Like Excess
If you're reading this the chances are that you're a photography addict. This addiction takes many forms. Some people collect cameras, some collect lenses, some collect books about photography. Most of us are unabashed about our passions. We share them with others, we go to workshops, conferences, and trade shows, visit web sites such as this one, buy magazines, and chat with our friends about our mutual interest. 
Just as people who have golf, cars, boats, fly fishing and a myriad of other pursuits as our hobbies and passions (not to mention in some cases, professions), we often spend more than our budgets might allow. That's part of the game. Wanting, that is. Some say that when you stop wanting, you're probably dead.
For the most part there's nothing objectionable about this. People are free to spend their money as they wish, and as long as no one is hurt or deprived along the way, who's to nay-say?
