We were taking inventory of all our gear and I just had to muse at how much stinking photo equipment you tend to collect over the years. 
We found stuff I didn’t even know we had… for instance, I had no idea that we have 3 5D’s, nor that we still have 3 550EX’s. I had completely forgotten about the 17-40L, and we have 4 50mm lenses (5 if you count the 45mm TS-E). And then there’s the film cameras, the point and shoots, and all the lighting and grip stuff… before even getting into CF and computers. Obviously, we need to have a spring cleaning sale!
There’s a saying about photography that I’ve always kinda liked – “How do you make a small fortune in photography? Start with a large one.”
On a completely unrelated note, I found a couple images that I shot from the plane on a solo flight a month back or so. Nothing spectacular, but if you like the Salton Sea like I do, then you might find these frames at least passably interesting:
Bombay Beach’s flooded waterfront
And Salvation Mountain – Leonard’s magnum opus (does anyone know if that guy is still alive?)
Check out a past post with some pics of these areas HERE.

I just went to the Salton Sea with a B School group for a day of shooting. So weird to see it from this vantage point! Very cool. :)

You can never have too many bodies! I still like the 550 EX over the newer 580EXII my self anyway, but thats just my opinion.
