HERE ARE MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS (other than family). Something to shoot with and something to edit with. I have a passion for photography. I love to take action shots, close ups, still shots, pictures of nature, kids, you name it, I like to shoot it. I took many classes in B&W film back when it actually _was_ film. I spent many hours in the dark room but as the children came, and responsibilities grew, the time I was able to devote to my hobby dwindled.
Someone suggested we get a digital camera. The side of me that doesn't do change well thought I would never enjoy a digital camera the way I do my manual one. But once I got a hold of my first digital camera and realized that the possibilities are endless (mostly that I can take a thousand shots to get the right one without paying to develop them all!), I was hooked. But there was one small problem. The shutter delay was annoying. I would see this adorable child in the view finder and push the button and .... where's the child? They had moved and I didn't get the shot. I don't like that. Soooo...My newest goals are a brand new Canon D50 which is an SLR and will alleviate my shutter delay problem and a MacBook Pro for the necessary editing. For a long time, I have been wanting the Nikon D90 but after my recent trip to NC, my sister in law, Mary, convinced me that I would enjoy the Canon just as much. Since I have Canon lenses (from a manual body) that will fit on my new digital, it seems the wisest choice. Sweet!
The laptop? Well, I need a new one for one thing. But again, I have been searching out the best possible fit for me and that happens to be the MacBook Pro. I spent an hour in our Apple store yesterday with this awesome young kid who just happens to be a photographer himself! He showed me all sorts of fun things I can do with the Apple once I get my gear. I cannot wait.
Well, but I have to. We have some goals we need to reach first...like paying off the house early but THEN....I'm going to satisfy my worldly desires and buy that camera and laptop.
Mary....maybe I will even buy you one!
Goal Setting is the only way to progress in life. I'm glad to see you reaching for your dreams. Keep up the passion and You'll go farther than you'd ever imagine.
