Assessing opportunity cost in our decisions can help unlock more of our personal potential. Our lives are the products of the decisions we’ve made in the past.

Goals Impact Gear Choice
This article discusses how our goals may impact gear choice, and why there isn’t a single camera format that is the ‘best’ for everyone. Heated internet ‘discussions’ about gear choices have been around for decades. The amount of time, energy and emotion that has been wasted in on this topic boggles the mind.
