Old men are dangerous: it doesn’t matter to them what is going to happen to the world.
– George Bernard Shaw
In all the best ways – old men are dangerous! I know ’cause I’ve spent my life preparing to become one. Now I’ve arrived. 😉
I’m largely who I am because of old men and old women. People who had my best interest at heart. We need folks like that in our life. People with whom we feel safe. It’s the focal point of nearly everything I do.
Everybody needs somebody. Those who are blessed have a variety of somebodies safe enough and willing enough to help them learn, improve, and grow. In that spirit, I know that podcasting relies on listeners – people willing to give their time and attention to the creative endeavor of the podcaster. It’s not a small thing. I appreciate everybody who allows me into their life via my podcasts.

Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera with 28-70mm Lens
When the Sony ZV-E10 (it’s perfect for live streaming and video; it also will accept different lenses) was released, I thought it might be ideal for me. Truthfully, it likely still might be, but over time I’ve questioned numerous photographers who also use their cameras for some video (some more than others). This camera has received more recommendations to me than any other. Many photographers, with Canon or Nikon in hand, have said if they were starting over today, this is the camera they would buy – the Sony A7 IV. You can invest a whole lot more in the lens than in the camera body, but I’m a simpleton and photo moron so I’m not sure I’d need “great glass” like a real photographer. The current pricing, with that lens, is about $2,700, which seems insane for a non-photographer like me…but 100% of the people who have recommended tell me, “It’ll be the last camera you own,” which may be their prediction that I’m not going to live much longer rather than a ringing endorsement about the quality of this camera. 😉
The problem is this technology is changing F-A-S-T and often. About the time I figure out which one to save for…something changes my mind. No matter, it’s pretty clear that B&H Photo is the best place to make the purchase, once I do decide. It’s equally clear that to get the tech/features I need, it’s likely going to run in the neighborhood of what this camera costs. If you’d like to contribute toward that cause you can send me:
