Take Care of Your Gear

A little personal note: today my father turns 87. His body is not what it was, but he still lives alone, takes walks, and he’s still sharp. I’m convinced his long life and mental acuity are the result of plenty of exercise–both mental and physical. I suggest we all would do well to follow his example.

Challenge your body and your mind regularly. I’m now learning Italian (duolingo app is fabulous), do the NYTimes crossword every Sunday, read a ton, and I get regular exercise almost every morning (fast hike Cowles Mtn., do weights, run).

You spend thousands in photo-related gear, but what do you do to keep your most important tool in its best condition?
