How do you finance your own camera gear?

[Simon_84]

by working.
no work=no money
sometimes selling off some lens also helps to cut down some losses before the next purchase...

I have been into photography for more than 7 years. For this 7 years, I started off with my parents' money in purchasing a 300D DSLR, then using my own pocket money to buy the 420 EX for event shoots. As the days passed by, I slowly owned a 550EX. So in the passed were mostly on save-and-hunger.

Now, I have been a photographer for an arts school in Singapore for more than 2 years plus, while working full time, I am still freelancing. My gears are now financed through my full time pay.

I told myself a few years back that if i went into photography I would be eating grass.
True enough.Scrimping on food,but my photography group outings always go higher end places like burger king to eat one :S

Die :sticktong

I finance with money of course.
