It was less then a week out from my first ever live photo event and I still hadn’t gone out and bought the proper gear to even shoot it. My two friends started an event promotion company in January called Second World Collective. They asked if I would do a free show for them to get experience and to help them cut costs. They promised future work, if it turned out well, and promised to “pay” me this time with beer coupons (not a bad trade off.) I remember searching through Kijiji (It’s a classified ad website used in Canada.) like a mad man, refreshing the camera section every 10 minutes. I was looking for a flash to mount on my Nikon D5000. Something preferably higher than a SB-400, but also nothing too professional, that way I could learn and not out grow it quickly. To my surprise, after less than a couple days of scouring I found a reasonably priced SB-600. It was located super close to my office at work, and he was able to meet at anytime. I managed to sneak away during my lunch break the Thursday before the show.
