Thursday — Another Productive Day

Opened my Targus Chill Mat and oiled the fans so they are now whisper-quite once again. I also opened my computer, installed a new HDD, and got the water heater working. Not bad for a Thursday!

My Baptism

So I was Baptized this Sunday afternoon and then got to hang out with some pretty awesome people. I cannot believe the turn out that was there and am very greatful for everyone that did show up. It was an honor having all of you there and I was very touched.

Sorry for all the miscommunication, it really was not my fault as I was misinformed from the start as well.

On another totally random note, it would seem that there are many others who are neglecting their blogs. I suppose you could say that is almost inevitable as we all get older and gain more responsibilities. Life takes over and you have no choice but to cut a few, seemingly unnecessary tasks out of your list of things to do. I am afraid I am also guilty of this as can be seen by the entries on this blog. Oh well.

Weirdest Dream…

It’s funny. I had the weirdest dream last night. Something about camping and then a small snowy village in the mountains. My room was just a little wider than shoulder width, and it was just a little longer than I was tall. But it had a pretty high ceiling and a small table that I put my camera and my camera bag on. Then there was something about ice cream, seriously? Ice cream?

Anywho, that’s that as they say. My post is done.

Yeah so…

I have been thinking. This is kinda weird, being in between quarters for the UCLA Extension gig. I feel like I should have homework… but then, I do not… not really in anycase. It is a weird feeling. Just thought I would take the time to comment to no one in particular.

Lately…

Lately, I’ve been throwing caution to the wind and “investing” in some lenses for my camera. Why? I do not particularly know. I mean, other than the fact that I like photography and that I think I’m decent at it, was there really any need for them?

I can say that yes, because I shoot many things where there is poor light quality so that the lenses I have don’t work. But, there’s always the flash that you can use, although that created horrible pictures because it just flattens everything out — not to mention that it blinds all the bystanders as well.

Now I am thinking it would be good to get the professional zooms for the wide and telephoto ranges at the least. It would seem that at those fast apertures even the third-party lenses are on the more expensive side unless they neglect to put certain, helpful, features on the lens.

Nikon has been kind enough to split the range to 14-24mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm. Each of which are about $1900USD. My goodness, that’s a like $2k each which puts the entire 14-200mm range at a whooping $6k!! Geezz!

WTF man. Seriously.
