OMG. I am in love. Seriously in love. I don't know why but I've got to have him. Introducing my new obsession, the Nikon D60 SLR kit with new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens! The must-have for every frustrated photo blogger/photojournalist, well at least for me! LOL. It's one mean camera that's incredibly compact and boasts a host of user-friendly features which delivers breathtaking picture quality and advanced built-in dust reduction technologies. Hell yeah! I'll be breaking the bank on this one. LOL. It roughly costs about $550 [body only, tax inclusive] but I'm hoping to get the kit [with lens included] which costs about $559 plus tax. I don't compromise. Not at all. LOL.
So what prompted this renewed fascination with digital photography you ask? Simple. These shots of NYC taken by Zhaber and a group of friends. I love taking pictures of myself and of every one/thing around me. I am a camwhore by nature but no where near professional yet somehow, this particular shot got to me. I can't explain it. Suddenly I had this urge to take some [shots] myself, somehow to chronicle my life in Toronto with regards to a my revived sense of freedom. Am I making sense here? LOL.
Seriously though, most find digital photography as an alternate avenue of self expression. A very expensive one at that, I know. However, there are things in life that are best explained and captured [immortalized rather] in stills than they could ever be in paper. What do I mean by this? I love writing., don't get me wrong. I could write all day about any thing under the sun so long as they interest me. Recent events however have led to resort to others means of self expression as my writing may seem to have offended a group of people who have been hell-bent on seeking revenge against me.
I'm talking about the unauthorized shutdown of my Friendster and Multiply accounts which I've had for at least 4 years, and the other two blog accounts from Tabulas and Live Journal respectively. Both I've had for at least 7 years. They were taken away from me just like that. All memories gone with a click. It's brutal. I get pretty emotional about these things.
Moving on, this is one of the reasons why I'm getting this baby. LOL. For all to see what it's like to view the world through my eyes, or in this case, lens rather. LOL. Hope I save enough. It's gonna cost me two months pay [I have other obligations]. Keep your fingers crossed. LOL.
