I think the mental process becomes all the time and effort I take to make good photos and if I only had a 645D to record the image at the end. . . Unless I suddenly went back to school and became an orthodontist, however, it's no the kind of money I can really justify.

Re: I really hate this guy 'smiley face'
The bio on his web site says he's a doctoral candidate in engineering and the USA is his second country. He describes himself on the blog linked to his website as a temporary software enginner. http://www.harkleephotography.com/biography.html I wouldn't be surprised if he got a stipend from his first country and generous parents to supplement any earnings he makes as a grad student. I don't think he waited for the 645D to come along before starting his photography business either, so there might be some way he's managing to write it off his taxes as a business expense.
