This is one Stinky Old Photograph: This photo was taken a while back and the amount of camera gear I have has grown by leaps and bounds (not sure yet if this is a good or bad thing). You can see the new gear photo by going here.
Original Desc: Well here it is, my camera gear...all indivudally noted and all strewn out for the world to see. 90% of it was bought in the last 10 months. It all fits in the camera bags at the top and the bags are normally packed to the brim with the gear.
My wife is a very patient and kind soul but I think I'm at the limit for a good long while, when I was arranging this stuff on the bed to take photo of it in our guest room she just about snapped seeing everything laying there. If I buy much else I will probably be justifiably shot, so if I stop suddenly posting to Flickr you'll know I likely got a new piece of gear and was subsequently killed.
I enjoy a number of hobbies (music, cars, cycling, camping, boating, technology and more), but one of the things I like about photography is it's a hobby that can be incorperated into every other hobby and aspect of life. In photography I've found something that I really, really enjoy and is a way I can have a semi-creative outlet for my soul. But as cool as photography is, music is still my main passion and I think that's the way it will always be...
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.

I feel sooo emasculated I have an lx3 and went nuts buying adapters and other crazy stuff to learn proper photography, I thought by bag was so cool for street photogrphy and then I see this manly, man collection of awesomeness gear and I feel like crying inside just a little bit,....sniff I just have to remind myself that we all have to take small steps before we fly.......LOL I really loved your description your wife is very cool to allow you to indulge in your art thank you for sharing and for a great laugh:)
Cheers

@Moniker007: While camera gear is fun to look at and buy, it doesn't make one a good photographer.... Many a person on Flickr things that lots of gear equals good photos, yet there are MANY people on Flickr with tons of gear and almost no creative vision or talent.. yet they think if they buy more gear that it will make their photos turn out even better...
... use what you have and learn to be creative and use the camera to the best of your and it's ability, you'll be fine. You can do a lot with very little actually...
