Poor insecure Mikey

I *would* be insecure if I had financial difficulties. Luckily I don't,
because I can control my spending. Instead of getting calls from collection
agencies I get calls from the bank asking if I want a larger line of credit.
I *could* buy a 1D and a range of lenses etc. today. I *could*, but I
won't, because I don't *need* one, and if I was going to spend that kind of
money I'd rather spend it on something else. We all have our own
priorities, and we're all entitled to them.

I am here because I want to better use the camera that I already *have*.
I don't want to throw money at the problem... I'd rather spend the time and
energy to learn to take better shots with my current camera.
