I got stuff coming but it's not dolly related except by proxy. I will be using it to take dolly pics, fer sure. Next two days it will be like Christmas around here all this new "stuff" is arriving. Photo gear. (Woo woo!) Lights, backdrop stand, new bag, all kinds of nice shutterbug type things. No, I didn't rob a bank. I just hit up my folks, and I had a gift card et all too, lol. Seriously, I had a bit of a balance and they loaned me the rest of the money to buy some new equipment so I could expand my business and get more. I was always having to rent the above and it was seriously eating into my bottom line. Also, I kept having to turn down some of the more lucrative jobs because I couldn't rent some stuff as I needed it. I'm one of maybe 5 people in the area who don't shoot Nikon or Canon digital apparently so getting my brand of equipment, extra lenses or special backdrops or whatever, that could be tough sometimes.
With what's arriving I won't have to go there so much. It's a good thing, and a few more jobs I can pay them back anyhow. I do have to sew up and paint some backdrops now but that's not that hard. Update, I got a partial credit on something. Amazon goofed and it worked to my advantage, and then I also did find some really cheap basic screens on there too so in the end I made out very well when it came to doing my "studio" on a shoe string thing. I came in well under budget actually. Didn't break the bank at all. Oh and I got two new and really nice Tamron AF lenses for my K-x in a swap last night. 28-80 and 75-300. No $$$ involved. So I'm pretty well set for new toys! All and all it's been like Christmas in May around here and I am just loving it! ;P
