Hello everyone. My name is Suhaimi and I am a lens-a-holic. I need help.
I have been buying a lot of camera lenses over the past 2 years. The problem is I never get to use all of them.
I can’t travel on the plane with all of them as they won’t fit in my bag. I can’t carry all of them during my photo outings as my camera bag is not large.
Here are just some of what I have right now…



I have more, all stacked up against the wall, right next to the kitchen. Yes, I have a problem.
And I just bought another one a few hours ago, a Nikkor 70-200mm. I can’t help it.
I just love taking pictures. I must set aside at least 3 to 6 hours on the weekend to take pictures of nature, birds and mammals.
Looking at nature through the camera lens takes the stress off me.


And now I have another, related problem.
I have been getting requests from friends to take their wedding pictures and will pay me for doing that. And they want to pay me a lot!!! My friends want me to turn my love for photography into a ‘career’ – make money out of it, lots of it.
What? I don’t do this for money. I do this because I just love looking at things through the camera lens.
I feel empowered and I feel creative. Yes, I need help.
And recently I was asked by a friend if I could produce a portfolio for a young skater, semi-nude, as he wants to be an international model!!
What?
I have enough problems as at now. I just need to stop reading the lens catalogue.
Is there a shrink out there? I just need someone to tell me, hey Suhaimi, you have enough already.
