    “You know what camera this really reminds me of is the Canon T2i which I got a while ago, I think over 10 years and I cleared out my bank account. It was like $850 bucks. I started getting paid decent amounts of money to shoot on that camera and it was really a huge stepping stone in my career to have that T2i”
