Have you got G.A.S!

GAS - photographers ailment


This post is definitely not about the cooking gas in the pipeline or the cylinders (if you are still stuck with that ugly, heavy to lift container), which threatens to become costlier as we speak. This ain't about the unflattering gases that involuntarily make way, when you would least expect to. 
Gear Acquisition Syndrome (sometimes Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, both abbreviated to GAS) is a term used to describe an urge to acquire and accumulate lots of gear, as defined in Wikipedia. 


While G.A.S has not yet caught the attention of medical community, rather sadly so. It is common ailment, much like the common cold or flue. Majority photographers seem to be suffering with GAS. And one doesn't even have a 'paracetamol - like' drug which could be popped every time he / she finds the tell tale symptoms.
