My Gear Journey
Every piece of equipment I've purchased, with transparent pricing, honest rationale, and retrospective assessments after months of real-world use.
No affiliate marketing fluff. Just honest documentation of what I bought, why I bought it, what I almost bought instead, and whether it was actually worth it.
🎯 Why This Page Exists
Gear-curious photographers deserve transparency. Most gear reviews are sponsored, affiliate-driven, or written by collectors who own everything. This is different.
I document every purchase decision with:
- Real purchase price - No "contact for pricing" nonsense
- Alternatives I almost bought - And why I didn't
- Honest limitations - Not just marketing highlights
- Retrospective updates - After months of use, was it worth it?
- Sample photos - Actual results with this gear
Note: Some gear links may include affiliate codes. If they do, I'll clearly disclose it. This page exists to help you make informed decisions, not to sell you gear.

🔮 What's Next?
I'm not a gear collector. Every purchase solves a real limitation or unlocks a specific creative goal.
Future milestones will appear here as I hit real constraints with my current setup. Until then, I'm focused on mastering what I have.
