existantial Angst over camera collecting

[FrankS]

There is some hand-wringing here at RFF at times about whether a guy with 30 cameras is a fondler and not a serious photographer. I'm watching the Speed channel on TV right now and learning about Jay Leno's car and motorcycle collection. He employs people to restore and maintain his fleet of antique, classic, and exotic cars (with documentation, design, assembly, photographic, and historical documents). Thirty cameras, heck, 300 cameras is NOTHING!

Since when was being "serious" a good thing? I'd rather enjoy myself. 🙂

A rich guy with nothing much to do but indulge in old cars and some Harleys. whoopi-do.

Jay Leno creeps me out ... no one likes him much down here in Austria!

i didn't say that i liked him...

 

[t.s.k.]

He creeps a lot of us in the US too. ^

As to "dying with the most toys wins", why not?

I hear he doesn't lead the ratings in Oz, either. 🙄

Who is Jay Leno?

 

[back alley]

he is not david letterman.

He was Conan O'Brien's replacement.

Whilst I admire him for his impeccable automotive tastes, the way he shafted Coco leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

David Letterman is from Indiana 😀

Existential camera angst (anxiety) is best treated with Kierkegaard, and old Leica and coffee 😉

I think it's fair to say he's no Johnny Carson.

He appears to be a serious fondler, though. 😀
