You're just a little rebel, aren't you?

So I took the plunge. I may have taken it a bit soon but I'm totally ok with that. I bought an item on my wish list that I've been wanting since I moved out and all I am waiting for now is the shipping. I've never really been one to get excited over things but I think for this one I actually feel a little elated, even if it's just slightly.

My parents loaned me their P&S camera back in November and I've gotten considerably more use out of it than they have, however using is is extremely frustrating because of lack of focus and features, not to mention the actual quality of the pictures and the ability to edit them fully.

Here's what I bought as a treat for myself for getting thru these past few months. I pulled out my old camera bag to make room for the new one. The thought briefly crossed my mind to sell my ELAN Canon, but I enjoy black and white photography (even thought I've not taken a B&W pic since 2003) and even with the direction that digipix are taking I can't bring myself to completely take the plunge and just sell it off. Besides ~ it still takes awesomely beautiful pix and I still have a huge bag of film to snap thru.

I justified to myself that once I can actually afford my true wish of the Canon 30D and then eventually the Canon 5D (hahah) then I'll either 'give' my camera to my parents or maybe to my lil brother (who's also a pretty awesome photographer in his own right).

I would have probably waited a month or two, or even after buying these lovely babies, but after seeing Rachels pix. I don't wanna wait!!! It's that instant gratification thing :) tee hee hee

Since I have a camera bag, a flash card, a mini tripod, a slew of filters all I really need for my new baby is a real tripod, a strap and maybe a larger CF card. Yup ~ I'm excited all right.
