"I had it all sitting on top of the world but I threw it away..."





Since I'm busily engaged in messing up my social life (I'm oh so talented...really.) I almost forgot about the stunning stuff.

I am the proud owner of a Canon EOS 450D.
It's not lent from my college or belongs to somebody else.
It's my own.
And every little job to get the money was so worth it.
And I fell in love with the noise of the shutter.
And it doesn't even suck at night, which is pretty important due to the little fact that night is the only time when I don't have anything else to do ...(sleep is overrated)...
And even though some people told me that trying to use my analogue lens would be a bad idea, it works.
I bought an adapter ring for Contax/Yashica and Canon and I don't even lose too much light or quality.
That's so cool. :nerd:

"...we will meet and maybe talk and not just speak..."





Ever wondered about time travel?

All you got to do is leave your hometown. And go back there after a little while. And you'll walk through the streets of the place you grew up and everything is just odd. Like you're walking through the scenery of a stage play after the audience is gone. It's still as you remember it but at the same time incredibly strange. Not really connected to you. Meanigless and at the same time not at all. And you slowly start to wonder if your past is real...

So it's November. And if I reflect the year, I really can't tell if it was a good one or a bad. Neither maybe. Or both. The average value of really bad and really great events. Many things just changed for the better and some things just went downhill. Mistakes were made. Successes celebrated. And my photographs changed. Not only because of a new cam. Maybe it's the content or the style or whatever it may be. You probably won't realize it. Maybe it's just me.

Summer seems to be on the edge of beeing over.
And my life managed to change entirely during the last couple of months. So all that's left is a weird nostalgia for those 'good old times' you can't get back no matter how badly you want it.
Yeah, I probably sound like a granny now... ;-)

But, whatever, I've got some great news that rock my world:

There's some spare money I have from several jobs. And since photography seems to be the only constant in my life, I decided to finally get myself a digital SLR cam. And if everything works as I imagine, I can use the lenses that belong to my (ok, not really my own, I ... claimed it.) analogue cam for the digital as well. Doesn't that sound amazing?
The only problem so far, I have no clue wich model to choose. I tend to Canon but I'm not quite sure...
So, if you strumble across this and want to share some knowledge, don't hesitate.
Any Do's and Dont's?
Experiential reports?

Every tiny hint is highly appreciated. :-)



P.S: Oh, and have a look at this: [link] it's worth it.

I should get some sleep...

Tue Aug 18, 2009, 2:48 PM
"...because tomorrow might be good for something."

So the weather decided to be summer and some sort of insomnia kicked in.
I don't know if I can't sleep or just don't want to.
And why sleep when writig pointless summer journals is so much more fun, huh?
So I'm sitting on the kichen floor next to the baking oven (honestly, the best place you can be) typing just to do something.

Whatever. Summer isn't really my season I guess.

And why ins't there such a mood as "empty"?
Because I haven't managed to get rid of that weird feeling that accompanies me since weeks now. Nevermind. This isn't supposed to be a I-feel-so-bad kind of journal. I don't even feel bad. Just... empty. This is supposed to be... well just another attempt to fill the emptiness.

So I keep telling myself that everything is okay. And until I believe it, I got my hands on a pretty nice cam. Spares me a therapist I guess ;-)

Whatever, the world is my playground again (at least until next week, when I have to give it back... the cam, I mean) and so I stroll around, chase sunsets and ruin my shoes in almost impassable fields.

So yeah, I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell...

Take care


P.S: If anybody knows some worth-to-be-seen movies... feel free to tell me.

12 weeks...

...of sweet idleness are ahead.

And I'm thrilled to the fingertips.
And inspired as hell.
And:

"This is absolutely the most fascinating time
we could possibly have hoped to be alive.
So whatever you do don't be bored"

...I guess I'm off.

Annoying some docent of mine to lend me great foto equipment.
Or buying a new pen.
Or just doing something... anything fucking creative. :D






P.S: have a nice summer.
