So it's like Christmas came early for me. I'm off this week to buy a new camera. I've been going back and forth on this for a while, there are so many wonderful camera's out there....
1stly, I've decided to stick with Pentax, I already have a few lenses and it's a comfortable name to me. Now it just comes down to 2 different models. One is a tad more expensive and is the newer version of the less expensive model. Not much difference, the only reason I would wait and save up for the newer one is, well, because it's newer - right? Alas, I'm hoping for a small deal on the older version, and any money saved will go to one of two lenses I want to add to my 'collection' (either a fish-eye or a good 50-300). Hmmm, seems to me I've just made up my mind... (plus I'm a bit impatient when it comes to new toys like this for me :)
I should note, this model is not the professional model either, but from what I am continually told my many professionals and non professionals is, it's not the camera, it's the photographer, I've also been told that you should never spend your money on the camera, instead save it for the lenses... it's all about the 'glass'!
So, as of Thursday or Friday this week I shall have the new (but older version) of the Pentax K-x (in White)... I will post pictures (and hopefully this will get me out of my 'funk' of not taking photos the last..... well, the last long, looooooong time.... agh, I hate when that happens!!!
oh yes, I wanted to pass along this link for the coolest camera straps I've ever seen! I already have a list of 3 different ones that I want for Christmas presents and have told all of my family about them, they are so cool, and I think they will look so fantastic on my new white camera!!!! check them out!
This is who I am...
I currently live in Canada and am addicted to my camera. As a young girl I watched my father continuously snapping photos at every occasion, vacation, and everywhere in between. I never fully understood what he saw until I was given my latest camera from my husband and since then we have been inseparable. I have yet to find something I didn't like to photograph. I enjoy seeing the world through Alias Eyes and believe that everything out there is beautiful, you may just need to see it through... Alias Eyes.
My two photography loves are 'Art' (a very broad and flexible word) and Portraits, although they are quite different I believe they can both be full of emotions, expressions, stories, and creativity. I strive daily to see things differently, to imagine and capture ordinary objects and scenes into dreams worthy of canvas. I hope you enjoy the shots I've taken and find them as interesting and inspiring as I do.
I am learning everyday, I am experimenting everyday. Everyday I see things in a new light. If you are a regular on my site, you will see that the photos are constantly changing. I go through waves of inspiration. I love it, and hope you do too. Please feel free to leave comments in my guest book or directly with a photograph. Thank you!
