Dew · Aug 18, 2003

well, i feel like i've done all i can with my Olympus C-2500L (digital)... its time to move on ... so i hesitantly presented it to my hubby this morning that i was ready to "upgrade"

... after a little sweet talking

and making promises that he will get his new G4 17" MAC laptop soon ... i'll be selling my "old" one on ebay

my new baby

: Olympus E20 (digital)

Waiting sucks :\

Now that I'm shooting slides there is at least a 24 hr turn around. I wonder how hard it is to process slide film at home...

i dont know, we may be possibly getting a film camera in the future .. my hubby has been eye-balling some Leica cameras lately ... he wont tell me what he's up too :bounce: ... but i know him

.. he likes to stalk his "toys" for a while first ...

Wow, a Leica. I was just talking about getting one of those today if I won the lottery

I always wondered why such a little thing costed so much so my dad explained to me the Leica he owned when he was younger. Sounds like a great camera for getting good candid shots of people on the street.

hey dew, nice camera! Can't wait to see some pictures from that baby!

Dew · Aug 18, 2003

he still thinks i cant read his mind :lol:

... i'd give it about 2 months or so ... he's been stalking it for about a week ... i said, "oh, ur looking at a new camera?" ... he says, "oh no, just taking a peek... browsing." ... sure just a peek

... i would never come between a man and his toys

.. i'd rather him get this than a shiny red sports car when he hits 40 :shock: ... mid life crisis

oh, im sitting here right now thinking of my first pics and poses for that baby

*day dreaming* :love:

... guess i'll get a few test shots downtown ... i got to get to know her .. it may take a few days for her to loosen up :lol:

voodoocat · Aug 20, 2003

Well like I posted, I sold my guitar and amp. So technically I only spent $20 when all is said and done.

Dew · Aug 20, 2003

my wide angle lens sold already (in less than 24hrs :lol:

) ... 2 bids on my macro lense with about 5 days left ... the secretary at my hubby's job wants to buy the cam .. her husband is also into photography (how cool is that

)

and i got a million step up rings if anybody wants to buy them for a few bucks

got to finish my make-up ... so i can head out :salute:
