    Purchasing gear from Greentoe

    I ran across this US site called Greentoe where you make an offer on an item and "a network" of retailers decide if they want to accept it or not. I recently made a bid on an OMD EM5 Mark III kit for $1250 and it was accepted. I also made a bid on an EF 100mm macro lens for $999 for fun, which...

    Trouble connecting EOS R6 to an M1 Macbook

    How did you get started as a full-time photographer? (with a little personal background)

    I know there must be many full time pros here, and I was just wondering how you got started. I shot film for several years as a side hobby during high school and college with my trusty old AE-1 Program until I accidentally left it out in the rain one day. I had made up my mind to fix it, or...
