Easy, you need more storage space.

And possibly, more siriusly, time to go use all that stuff!

 

[markbarendt]

Make reservations online for a vacation in Fuji, put all your photography stuff in a checked bag. Go to Fiji and wait.

 

[benjiboy]

Sorry Steve, I do photography, not psychiatry you have to learn to be tough with yourself and control your urges.

 

[Sirius Glass]

<<sniff>>

 

[antmar]

Do you have everything twice? I am joking, now it is time to use and enjoy all this stuff.

 

[frank]

Knock, knock, knock. Penny!

The feeling of waiting for something to arrive in the mail is sweet, and possibly addictive.
I'm feeling it right now.

I'll tell Rudolph you eat a lot of venison so you need not hang up your stocking.

I've just ordered leather belt made in Canada to be delivered from USA...
Lots of fun to watch how Canada Post toss things round and round and round...

So, try to order something from Canada, but made in USA.

Easy start selling stuff n buy it back!

 

[MartinCrabtree]

Start a meth lab.

 

[Sirius Glass]

That would be good for a blast and a half.

Perhaps you are a Collector.
My brother died 3 years ago owning about 400 cameras. Folders, box cameras, art deco, plastic cameras, movie cameras, aerial cameras and even a Century Studio camera, plus a bunch of Nikons with all the glass.
He had a world-class darkroom and an extensive library on photography.
The thrill of looking and acquisition is a highly addictive activity, but the sufferer needs a new fix constantly, as the thrill wears off and he seeks to re-experience the gratification provided by the whole process.
Basically, if you don't break the cycle, there will be no end to it.
You have to decide if it all is making you happy, miserable, and/or broke.
Maybe I missed it, but do you use the stuff and actually make images ?

 

[frank]

See ?

 

[removed account4]

LOL and you comment about others when you often times post 30-50 posts like this a-day,
too funny.
good luck with your problems

 

[HiHoSilver]

Hmm. Could be a medical issue. Your doctor told you that you have too much money?
'Sounds like a serious deficiency. Perhaps an SWC...

 

[Sirius Glass]

I already have the SWC and I only have cameras that I use. I just like ordering things and receiving them. I am going to take two rolls of film and check with the doctor in the morning.

The original version of Netflix must have brought you regular joy .....

Every time a UPS truck, a FedEx truck or the mailman comes by, my blood pressure spikes!

50mm lens for my bronica S2a should arrive by mail tomorrow. I'm excited!

So send me all of your heroin... err, flashbulbs...

:devil:

The answer is very straightforward: go shoot a bunch of film, develop it, print it, mount and frame the ones you like, file the rest. Repeat this part until you determine the equipment you DON'T need. Sell it to buy more film, paper and chemistry. Repeat the whole thing. You may wind up owning only one camera and two lenses, and having lots of great prints.

Acquiring equipment is a way to avoid doing creative work.

Nawww...

Acquiring equipment before is a way to free up funds from a future fixed income in order to buy film, paper, and chemistry after retirement arrives...

I retired a year and a half ago and I have stocked up on black & white and color paper. Last week I blew through half a box of 250 sheets of Ilford Multigrade FB 8"x10" paper.

Great! Next time you get the urge to buy more junk, just head for the darkroom.
