cam-crazy

i neglected to mention in my previous post that for the first time, last saturday, i was able to not only touch, not only hold, but use, not just one but two digital SLR cameras (Thanks very much to sir martin!)!!!

of course, of course, i still love my manual SLR, on which i learned "to see". but i must admit that there is a certain ease and convenience to the fact that you can get great photos, and actually immediately rectify errors (that is, reshoot) when you find that the photo you took didn't turn out the way you wanted. then you can just delete the previous photo. though i'm not anywhere near buying one of my own. but you know what? these last few days have made me realize what i really want to do: write and take photos. now if only i didn't need money...
