text: It’s time to move on from my trusty Nikon Coolpix P900 camera – it served me well, but it’s limitations are starting to limit me (no RAW, limited aperture sizing, overtly sensitive sensor, inability to use remote triggers, etc). The Nikon D7200 will be my new faithful companion.
  The complexity was quite the brick wall, but now I’m getting a feel for how to use it. Already I’m in love!

  Ever since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that all Americans wear some sort of cloth face covering to slow the spread of coronavirus, many retailers now sell their own. From Gap to Everlane to Amazon, tons of brands have stepped up to make cloth face masks readily available for all While making a face mask at home is totally feasible (the CDC even put together instructions on how to do so), you’ll likely find one on Etsy that meets all your needs. Many sellers have added face masks to their storefronts since April — so much so, that there are now over one million face mask listings on the site.
  Since the CDC emphasized that surgical masks and N-95 respirator masks should be reserved for medical professionals, purchasing a washable cloth face mask on Etsy is an easy way to support a small business while following CDC guidelines. Many of the face masks on the site use decorative and colorful fabrics, like these “vintage” and retro designs from Everyday Yesterday, which can be a fun touch during uneasy times.
  Two of the most popular options are these breathable tri blend masks from Tough Cookie Clothing and Neovic Good’s jersey cotton masks, which both have over 6,000 reviews. Tough Cookie Clothing’s masks are made from a polyester, cotton, and rayon blend that shoppers say is soft and lightweight. Tons of customers have left them a five-star rating thanks to their comfort and low price (options start at $5.50).
  If you’re looking for something super affordable, Etsy shoppers love Dare2bStylish’s face masks, which start at just $3.40 (yes, seriously). The storefront offers a handful of colors and designs, as well as bulk options. You can purchase anywhere from one to 1,000 masks, and you’ll get free shipping on orders over $35.
  While you should generally expect longer delivery windows, many of these face masks are ready to ship in just a few days from the United States. Check out all face mask listings on Etsy here.
