It’s Finally Over

The holiday’s are coming to an end. Now all we need is New Year’s and than not another Holiday until Easter…or if you live in New Orleans than it’s Mardi Gras. I’ve just been so busy writing and taking pictures. I actually ended up getting a new lense for my camera which I am sooooo excited about! It’s a 55-250mm and I got it because it has the Image Stabilizer. It’s a big help because I don’t have to do as much it’s pretty much all automatic, but the pictures come out so amazing. I also went ahead and bought some lense filters. It really does improve the way my photograph’s look, but nothing too spectacular. That’s the nicest Christmas gift I think I recieved. Other than that I got some cash, a gift card, and some clothes. The typical stuff I also went ahead and changed up my layout since Christmas is over and I was getting really annoyed with my layout. That tends to happen a lot. I promise this coming New Year I will write more because I know I have been slacking off, but I will I promise! See you all soon and I hope you all had a nice holiday!

Photography Is Not Cheap

I was browsing through Amazon looking for some lenses for my SLR and holy crap! Talk about expensive! The cheapest I found were Sigma  lenses I can get a nice 300mm one for about $200 bucks and they’ve gotten slightly good reviews problem is…I don’t think I need anything that huge! 300mm is a lot I mean the lense I use right now only goes to about 55mm and I have heard some people have such trouble using the lense they have to resort to using a tripod. I am not toting a tripod with me everywhere I go I’ll look like the biggest freak of nature and I know people will be like “Oh look at that kid with his tripod I bet he thinks he’s big stuff!” Well I do think I am the shiz, but not that much I’m also looking into getting a new point and shoot but the one I want is way out of my price range. Ugh! I want the Olympus 1010, but $300 is a little steep for me. That’s like more than half of my paycheck and I have bills to pay. Yes I at 17 have bills. It’s called my Apple iMac and my T-Mobile bill, which thank God it expires in January! I will not be signing up with them again my Sidekick never worked worth a shit and I went back to AT&T. I hate how expensive things are today, but at least I am working and making some money. I have a lot more independence than most kids my age and for that I am sooo thankful. Hooray for being able to pay for my own stuff!
