if i didn't think i might break it, i'd have slept with my camera last night. as it was, all i did was dream of it and taking pictures all night long, but i blame
jim for planting that subliminal suggestion.
i'm ridiculously giddy about it all. i spent most of yesterday around town taking pictures. i was sitting on a bench on the seawall waiting for the sun to set (i'm finally getting around to making the pictures on
this list) and this older gentleman took a look at the big, black, huge, sexxy camera around my neck.
"you waiting for the sun to set?" he asked.
"yeah," i smiled, "it should happen any minute now."
"well, time's on your side, then!"
it's hard to be inconspicuous with such a big camera. i'm going to have to get used to that. i'm also going to have to get a camera bag. i like the look of
this one, but it's like a hundred bucks. part of me thinks "hey, what's another hundred bucks?", but the other says "whoa, cowgirl. you're DONE with money."
i have so much to learn now. i think i like that. this camera is going to challenge me like the fuji never did. i can't wait to see what happens. i think i might need a bigger hard drive, though.
gorgeous skyshots
very pretty pictures. And Lowepro (http://www.lowepro.com/) makes some nice and reasonably priced bags. You can find them at SuperStore.
Ahhh! I am SO excited for you! Way to go girl! You are so worth it.
And you must get a nice camera bag. Trust me, that beautiful baby deserves it! Check out Lens & Shutter.
Here's to hoping you'll get used to taking pictures quickly with that sexy camera. People tend to not "bother" me when I use the Nikon because it looks pro. Er, they usually just say, "Oh my gawd, that's a really nice camera."
it's so true about the pro-looking camera. with my elan, people just assumed i was with the band, allowed near the nuclear plant, knew what i was doing, worked for national geographic. with the oly, i'm just a tourist or six rows back at a bad wedding. waiting (relatively, it's very fast for a pro-sumer cam) forever for the click.
