Caudle Photography

                                       (the most valuable piece of art I own.  Original frame and all)   I'm going to start this post by first explaining where all of this came from.  Maybe you can relate and maybe you'll have no idea what I'm talking about.  But I'm writing this because I feel like a really good part of life has been replaced by something that doesn't offer anything close to it's original.  So please enjoy this one and take a moment to ask yourself the honest question; am I really getting the best value in today's photography market or have a I been duped into believing a lie and forfeiting the BEST?    So I ask you to come back with me to about 1990.  Imagine if you will, 9 year old me with a camera (disposable flash bulbs on top) and a roll ...

But here's the thing..I don't want you to get stuck here.  Getting stuck in disappointment will rob you of so much more than this loss every will....
