My Holiday Wish List

As a photographer it is increasingly hard to find gifts that I can utilize in my professional while still being in the price range that most of my family and friends can afford. While I'd love a brand new Nikon D90 this Christmas - the $1200 price tag is going to put it on the naughty list of things people just can't afford to buy.

So whats a hard working photographer supposed to do this holiday season when you start looking for Christmas gifts for yourself? Ebay!! Its the best place to spend that hard earned cash for great items that are cheap and will help grow your photography business in 2009.

Some of my best lighting buys have come from Ebay in the past and I am continually on the look out for new items that pop up every day - from new to used equipment there is a ton of great deals to be had on just about anything photography related.
