Old Age Decisions

Not that I am counting but as of today, I have less than 30 days until I hit the 78 year mark. Nothing special about that other than I am still kickin' and am particularly happy about that. Like the title of the movie goes, "Heaven Can Wait".

 

But in view of the shadow of time I have left, I find I tend to make decisions differently now than I did even 10 years ago.

 

For instance, it's not a positive selling point when a salesperson says to me that something will last 10-20 years, like I don't care. I'm more interested in the short term.

 

So, when I survey my sparse array of camera equipment, I ask myself if buying anything new now is worth it.

However, sometimes 'want' outweighs measured decisions.

 

But when I see photos like this eagle flying overhead from my ancient Nikon D500, little doubts creep into my mind that maybe, just maybe, I won't be able to improve much with a newer and more expensive camera.

 

Probably have to call an executive meeting in our kitchen to discuss it.
