 * Why Photography?
 
 I've often wondered why photography is as enticing as it is. You can see
-billions of people around the world taking photographs every single
-moment of the day. New technology often boasts about their photographic
-capabilities, especially smartphones. I would even assume that we live
-in a world where there is never a moment in which a photograph is not
-being taken somewhere on Earth.

-As for myself, I would simply say that I enjoy preserving a memory in
-physical (or digital) form. I've never had the best memory when it comes
-to recalling details of places and people gone by, so it helps to have a
-frame of reference lying around.

 * Older Cameras
 
-I started playing around with the idea of photography when my family
-purchased a Fujifilm camera for family-specific events. I don't recall
-the specific model, but I do recall it was a point-and-shoot camera
-without an interchangeable lens. However, it was of great value to
-someone, like myself, who couldn't afford any other camera. I took about
-10,000 shots with that camera over a 3-5 year span. Most notably, all of
-my trips to California were documented through this camera.

-When possible, I would borrow my sister's camera, which is a Sony
-SLT-A58. This camera was great and allowed for some of my best early
-shots, especially those taken in Utah's and Nevada's parks.

 * My Current Kit
 
-I've finally come to a point in my life where I have the disposable
-income to invest in a solid photography kit. I played around with the
-idea of a lot of different cameras, different types, new vs used, etc.
-Finally, I settled on the
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_%CE%B17_III][Sony α7 III]]. This
-camera is mirror-less and uses a full-frame image sensor at 24
-megapixels. I don't create large prints, and I am mostly focused on
-preserving memories in high quality for the next 5-10 years with this
-camera, so the specifications here are just perfect for me.

 For lenses, I decided to buy two lenses that could carry me through most
 situations:

-  T** FE 24-70 mm F4 ZA OSS]]

-In addition, I grabbed a couple

-filters for the lenses.

-As I delve further into photography and pick up more skills, I will most
-likely go back and grab a lens with a higher f-stop value, such as
-f/1.8. I toyed with the idea of grabbing a 50 mm at =f/1.8=, but decided
-to keep things in a reasonable price range instead.

-Finally, I made sure to buy a photography-specific backpack with a rain
-guard, and the zipper on the back panel, to protect the equipment while
-wearing the bag. If you've ever had to haul around a DSLR (or camera of
-similar heft) in a bag that only has a shoulder strap, you'll know the
-pain it can cause. Putting all my equipment in a backpack was an easy
-decision.
