A reader – you know who you are – wrote me not too long before the big arrest-fest about what equipment I used, how to shop for a digital camera, and what to look for.
Over the last summer, I helped three friends buy a DSLR camera, all at the guy I use for almost all my photo hardware needs. One of them has become a big mama blogger and avid photographer since then. (Are you reading This Time in Seoul? You should be.) I recommend the same basic camera body for most people, but different lenses, depending on what people do.
I'm going to be working on the "what camera will do you right on the streets" post as my next "big mama" post – I like taking it back to photo and writing something practical once in a while, ya know?
And I can give some pointers on taking better pictures in general, if you'll have them.
