The effort and expenditures lasted about two years but I left it with no question or doubt because I couldn't connect with the people. I was tuning my little car as best I could, upgrading it with whatever fit, etc and I took it to the track a couple of times. There was a time I really wanted to get into amateur track racing with my club. I've had a similar question with my automotive experiences but the answer was different. If I sell it all now will I feel an itch in a few years to buy it all back again just to reclaim some kind of trophy-like glory? That sounds like a relapse in addiction, doesn't it? It's my stuff! I'll be surrounded by my antiques in old age until someone or something pries them away from me.

The emotional side of me says just keep it. Why not get a used Squier Strat and a little amp off of Craigslist or eBay for making noise? Sell the all the gear and get something cheap and used as a symbolic reminder of times long past. The logical side of my brain says to compromise.

Free myself of the past and move on with photography. The intellectual side of my brain says I need to dissolve myself of this. I worked hard to get this gear and it feels harder to let go of it. It sounds great, right? But, there’s something holding me back. I could use the money to send a few film bodies to Eric H for CLA’ing, buy film, pay for processing, get a new lens or two, or maybe even get a new body to replace my K-30. Selling the gear would free up space in the house and introduce funds for my photography hobby. I’m thinking of selling some of the gear but something is really holding me back. All I can do is make some noise to remind me how fun it was to be passionate about the whole pursuit. I can’t keep up with what I used to do and I don’t feel like putting in the time to catch up to where I was. Sometimes I pick up one of my guitars and strum a few chords or play a few licks and it feels really good but I’m severely out of practice. I have some electric guitars, amps, and vacuum tubes from a time when I was really passionate about music.
