Shoot The Breeze

I know this episode is a little heavier than usual - but I think the material is important. Buying expensive camera gear is, for most of us, pretty stressful. Having recently made a couple of poor purchasing decisions, I decided to take a closer look into the forces that may be influencing how we spend our hard earned money. It turns out that the forces driving our consumption are numerous, powerful, and sometimes unexpected. Understanding how society, manufacturers, retail outlets, and even our own brains exert influence on our judgement may offer a key to avoiding unwise purchasing decisions in the future.  If you want to know who is pushing our buttons, and how they are doing it, you may want to listen to this podcast. I hope you find it useful! All the best... Allan
