As a "Serious Hobbyist Photographer" I still get complaints from strangers on my photos that, "You don't need an R5 for that." or "You don't need that RF L-series glass...".

What I really don't need is a strangers opinion on how to spend my money.

Those who know what that means get mad and stomp off.
Those who don't know get that 'deer in headlights' look.

My bad attitude from trying to learn the single life after 35 years of marriage.
Been 14 years now, but I think I'm getting it figured out.
