TV shows have themes. Or at least that’s what professional TV critics insist ~ regardless of what the TV show writers and producers intended 😉 So we have a theme here at the blog. It is the temporal decay of existential value, or in more plain terms, a USED camera gear sale, more specifically, KEH Camera is running a While Supplies Last sale. These are items that are close to running out for various reasons. No coupon is needed for this sale. The price you see is the price you pay.
Speaking of KEH, at the other end of the spectrum, they have a page listing their latest arrivals. “New*” is a bit of a confusing term to use when you are talking about used items, thus I’m “translating” “newly arrived” to “latest arrivals” 🙂
If you are fond of USED products and clearance sales and such, Adorama is running a USED Clearance sale. No coupon needed, the price you see is the price you pay.
NOTE that used items come in various conditions, from pristine to “spare parts only” so be sure to read up the available details on the individual product listing pages. Used items in usable condition (eg not “parts only”) get a 90-day warranty and 30-day return window. Again, check the individual listing to see what qualifies. For example, the $200 Nikon D5600 “Parts” listing, is sold as “AS IS”, final sale, no returns, no warranty. Obviously 🙂
If you are fond of the Walgreens Photo Wood Panel prints, you are in luck! Good until 2/18/20 at 11:59pm central time, coupon code 75OFFWOOD gets you 75% off the purchase price. Same day store pickup is included in the price. Shipping to an address of your choosing is NOT included. Coupon cannot be used in-store, only online/digitally. One use per customer for this coupon. You can use up to three coupons per shopping cart as long as they are not overlapping.
Meanwhile coupon code LOVE50 gets you 50% off Everything Photo until 2/29/20 at 11:59pm central time. This coupon can be used up to five times per customer during the promotional period.
IF you have been interested in some of the more expensive classes offered at Creative LIVE, you are in luck! For a limited time, they are offering almost all of their classes for $29 (or less). No coupon is needed. The price you see is the price you pay. When the promotion ends, the prices you see on their website will increase. The sale includes their various Bootcamp classes… Happy learnings 🙂
There’s only so many photography how-to and camera user-manuals you can read. Sometimes you just want to read a novel that has some …photography in it. For example, the protagonists are photographers or some other related plots and twists and turns. Such is the case with one of Sunday’s Kindle ebook daily deals, it is the “The Age of Light” novel by Whitney Scharer (for the speed-readers out there, no, not Whitley Strieber) for $2.99. It is 385 pages, got published in February 2019, and averages 4.1 out of 5 based on 150+ customer ratings. You can get the start of the book using the “Kindle sample” or you can jump around jump around jump around using the “Look Inside” feature when you are on the Hardcover or Softback Amazon page of the book.
This is biographical historical fiction, not a romance novel…
“As they work together in the darkroom, their personal and professional lives become intimately entwined, changing the course of Lee’s life forever.”
