half the rappers & people you are shooting for don't know the difference, as you can see half the people on the board have been giving you props on ya photography, stop making excuses. I do have 10k on hand, I took a pic of a big ass stack of money the other day and put a label on it..... ain't much more proof you can get than that, but I have yet to see anyone prove to me that buying an expensive setup is going to make more money, I mean why would I take your advice when i'm doing better than you at photography money wise and photography is what you do? I got jobs everyday, I usually turn down photography cuz I don't wanna drive & have to pick up money, I can just sit home & collect cake & do graphics, but I do photoshoots when i'm not busy, I am never not working.....it's always backed up & I have to turn people down or send them to someone else
