-# Why Photography?
-
-I've often wondered why photography is as enticing as it is. You can see
-billions of people around the world taking photographs every single moment of
-the day. New technology often boasts about their photographic capabilities,
-especially smartphones. I would even assume that we live in a world where there
-is never a moment in which a photograph is not being taken somewhere on Earth.
-
-As for myself, I would simply say that I enjoy preserving a memory in physical
-(or digital) form. I've never had the best memory when it comes to recalling
-details of places and people gone by, so it helps to have a frame of reference
-lying around.
-
-Regardless of the reason, I think most people would agree that you simply cannot
-have too many hobbies.
-
-# Older Cameras
-
-I started playing around with the idea of photography when my family purchased a
-Fujifilm camera for family-specific events. I don't recall the specific model,
-but I do recall it was a point-and-shoot camera without an interchangeable lens.
-However, it was of great value to someone, like myself, who couldn't afford any
-other camera. I took about 10,000 shots with that camera over a 3-5 year span.
-Most notably, all of my trips to California were documented through this camera.
-
-When possible, I would borrow my sister's camera, which is a Sony SLT-A58. This
-camera was great and allowed for some of my best early shots, especially those
-taken in Utah's and Nevada's parks.
-
-# My Current Kit
-
-I've finally come to a point in my life where I have the disposable income to
-invest in a solid photography kit. I played around with the idea of a lot of
-different cameras, different types, new vs used, etc. Finally, I settled on the
-[Sony α7 III](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_%CE%B17_III). This camera is
-mirror-less and uses a full-frame image sensor at 24 megapixels. I don't create
-large prints, and I am mostly focused on preserving memories in high quality for
-the next 5-10 years with this camera, so the specifications here are just
-perfect for me.
-
-For lenses, I decided to buy two lenses that could carry me through most
-situations:
-
--   [Vario-Tessar T\*\* FE 24-70 mm F4 ZA
-    OSS](https://electronics.sony.com/imaging/lenses/full-frame-e-mount/p/sel2470z)
--   [Tamron 70-300mm f4.5-6.3 Di III
-    RXD](https://www.tamron-usa.com/product/lenses/a047.html)
-
-In addition, I grabbed a couple [HGX Prime
-67mm](https://www.promaster.com/Product/6725) protection filters for the lenses.
-
-As I delve further into photography and pick up more skills, I will most likely
-go back and grab a lens with a higher f-stop value, such as f/1.8. I toyed with
-the idea of grabbing a 50 mm at `f/1.8`, but decided to keep things in a
-reasonable price range instead.
-
-Finally, I made sure to buy a photography-specific backpack with a rain guard,
-and the zipper on the back panel, to protect the equipment while wearing the
-bag. If you've ever had to haul around a DSLR (or camera of similar heft) in a
-bag that only has a shoulder strap, you'll know the pain it can cause. Putting
-all my equipment in a backpack was an easy decision.
