Life of a Photographer 🎞️ — After “repair or replace,” the next question I always hear is: “Should I buy refurbished or just used?” When searching for a more economical camera replacement, most folks — myself included — look for a second-hand deal. Buying a well-lived camera means having confidence in either the seller or the equipment. Ideally, you want both.

Capturing the beauty of Florida’s landscapes and the Milky Way under the cloak of night is a passion that drives me. As the Director of Photo Education at Johnson PhotoImaging, I’ve had the privilege of guiding many photographers on their journey to mastering the art of low-light photography.

If you’re looking to buy landscape photo prints that bring a piece of that wonder into your space, you’re in the right place.
