How many cameras do you need? (and why?)

MartinCrabtree · May 11, 2015

Most work hard for the money. And if they gain some semblance of satisfaction from buying cameras and accessories with it who am I to criticize?

Hi Ben,

You say that like its a bad thing. What's wrong if a hobby of collecting related items is a pleasant pastime for someone?

Is it as deep a satisfaction as gained through introspective meditation, working towards self realization? No. It's quite superficial, but so is watching TV.

So is masturbating

I need as many cameras that have an interesting design. Not necessarily for use, but as objects of introspective fascination.
