31Jul09 Hello Internet

I need to stop being intimidated by this “Add New Post” page. For some reason I feel like I shouldn’t right if I don’t have anything of vast importance to say. But it’s just a blog; I don’t need to produce anything Pulitzer worthy, right? I’ve been tempted to post some random entries on my tumblr but then I remind myself that I have a blog for that sort of thing.

There is something semi special about today. It’s my half birthday! I think the fact that I am excited about such a non special thing is evidence of just how long of a week it’s been. Sometime on Monday I thought to myself “Thank goodness it’s almost the weekend. I’m ready for a break.” Can you imagine how disappointed was when I realized that it was ONLY MONDAY?? Last week at work was pretty killer and this week wasn’t much better. I find it a little amusing that I’m having to try very hard to convince myself that it is indeed Friday and that I won’t have to get up early in the morning. Of course, I have a habit of waking up about the same time anyway but I don’t have to get out of bed and get ready for work. There’s a difference.

One other thing that I realized since it is my half birthday is that I have had my D60 for six months now. SIX MONTHS. It’s crazy. I’ve learned so much since I got the camera but there is still so much that I don’t know. I also need to practice taking more pictures of people but I need some willing participants. I know I sound crazy to most people (I’ve accepted that fact a while ago) but talking about cameras and things just makes me so excited! I’ve been kicking myself a little because I think I may have bought the wrong camera, mostly due to wanting to get some compatible, auto focusing lenses. There’s some technical things involved but I’m trying to figure out the most efficient and inexpensive way to get some new gear. There are soooo many options that it’s a little difficult to figure out. And of course nothing is cheap.
