chadott The first, and ONLY website I have ever made money with is the one that we display our photography business on!

This is the reality. As I was watching the morning news, there were reports on how these already rich businessmen, politicians, and government officials are getting richer... And it's not because they work hard or they have...

chadott It has been this way since, well, the dawn of man. And if you think it will ever change, we will have to agree to disagree! Don't let it get you down...just find poorer friends. If you are the richest, maybe you will become richer! lol!

chadott Of course you can! I am assuming if you have a passion for photography you have some type of camera already, or else it is actually more of a thought than a passion. What kind of camera do you have?

chadott Unfortunately where I was, there weren't any "trusted" employees! The townspeople were not the most trustworthy, and the town had a bad reputation as being full of drug users, dealers, and criminals. It really was a shame. The "ordinary" people there are...

chadott I do not use my twitter account very much. In my opinion, it is not an effective tool for what I would want to use it for, which is reaching my customers of my "offline" based business. On the other hand, in the last six months our business has boomed, and I...

I am a die hard photographer... to be. See, I've been dying to get a digital SLR Canon EOS Rebel EX 18-55 mm lens kit, or a digital SLR Nikon D3000 18-55 mm lens kit for a while now. If I confused you, those are the digital SLR...

slr vs digital

chadott I didn't realize Kodak made an SLR camera anymore. Usually people consider Canon and Nikon when considering dslr cameras. I wouldn't rule out Sony and Olympus either. It is hard for someone to tell you what camera you should buy. We all have our preference...

In buying D-SLRs, which brand do you prefer: Canon or Nikon? Why? What makes the other better than the other one?

4 responses

chadott I use Canon, mostly because that is what I first bought, and had lenses for that first camera and kind of felt obligated to continue with them because I couldn't start all over if I switched. Often I wish I would have taken the time to try both first and then...

chadott lovescreed is right, mpix is awesome! We have used them for about five years now, and they are extremely reasonably priced for the quality they produce. And if you order (or charge enough) to justify it, you can get your prints back the next day. That can be a...

chadott Yes, I would consider that window shopping (or maybe it's screen shopping?!?!?) A couple years ago, I was shopping eBay for a nice backpack type bag for my camera and equipment and came across one that included a 40d body, a 70-200 L lens, and a Sigma 18-50...
