I'm having some serious buyers remorse over buying my first camera. I have a compact that I've been using for over a year and I thought I wanted to upgrade, that I would get more into portraits or start a business or get more into art that I wanted to do. After spending the money on this lens and body yesterday, I suddenly feel like this is the stupidest thing ever, I'm never going to do any of that stuff, why did I spend all this money, etc. The lens still has to arrive at the store, I only have the body, but I haven't even touched the bag or looked at the stuff I bought since I bought it yesterday. I have a few days until the lens arrives and I go pick it up, so I'll think about it, but right now I just want to return everything.
I don't know if its the price tag (1.5k USD, first time I bought something this expensive for myself since I started my career) that's making me feel this way or if I just genuinely don't really care about photography anymore. I'm starting to think it's the latter
Throughout my life I've gone through a lot of hobbies that I would be really into but eventually get bored of. I thought photography would be long term for me, that I had found something that finally stuck but it seems like this is not the case.
