Hey guys. I just registered on here after reading for the past few days.
I bought my first dSLR (a Rebel XTi) back in 2008 when I was getting ready to move to Oman. It traveled the world with me. I never got that good with it, but certainly enjoyed playing around.
This past August I took a trip back to the Middle East (using Jordan as a home base). I went into Palestine for 4 days, didn't take my computer to upload my pictures though. I had taken 400+ pictures of Jerusalem (Dome of the rock, etc.), Ramallah (Arafat's tomb), and Nablus (Balata refugee camp). I crossed the border back into Jordan and got a driver back to where I was staying. After a long argument with the driver standing outside of the car, he jumped in the car and sped off. A minute later I realized the camera was still in his car!
The next day I commissioned another taxi driver to take me to find the guy from the day before. We succeeded, but he denied everything (I suspect it was already sold off).
Up until recently every time I even thought about photography I got nauseous. This past week I mustered up the strength to order myself a new one. I now have a T1i and a Canon 17-85mm lens. Still working on building up the accessories that vanished with my old camera.
This time I have vowed to learn as much as possible. The tutorials thread on this forum has been keeping me busy. Feel free to mock me for any dumb questions I may ask.
