HT2467 - Depreciation Happens

HT2467 - Depreciation Happens We all know the bumper sticker wisdom that can be politely translated with the phrase "poo poo occurs." That's the sense with which I titled this commentary, Depreciation Happens. The other day I opened a box in the attic and found a Minolta Hi-Matic 9, a 35 mm camera that was originally manufactured in 1966. On eBay, if I were lucky, I might get $20 for this used piece of gear. That got me thinking about all the things I've purchased in my photographic life, not a single one of which has appreciated in value, not even my artwork. The art life is a privilege we must be willing to pay for. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!
