Nausea
My camera died last month, leaving me in one heck of a bind. Actually, it didn’t die, it just won’t turn off. So I guess you could say it’s possessed. The problem with that is since it’s acting so peculiar, I can’t trust it, and when you can’t trust your camera and you’re taking pictures for money… well, you have a PROBLEM.
Enter all my little photographer friends, who immediate put the bug in my ear… need a new one, need a new one, need a new one. And not just any one in particular, it’s time to UPGRADE.
So I did. And now I can’t breathe. Talk about impulse purchases. Mine had three zeros behind it.
OWWWW.
It doesn’t help that I lost one of my biggest freelance clients this month; a casualty I knew was coming eventually, but the timing couldn’t be more rotten. I know, in due time, that this camera will pay for itself at least ten times over… but it’s the here and now that leaves me with an incomparable state of nausea unlike any I’ve ever known.
(Actually, that’s not true at all. There have been things that made me feel MUCH sicker than this.)
I’d just like to thank everyone who contributed to my new state of debt, one person in particular (and you know who you are) … I hope you’re happy. I’m SO going to steal your business now!

So, what’d you get? I got a really good deal just before Christmas last year on a Canon XTi with two lenses. Not quite three zeros, at least before taxes and Ritz insurance and the like. Still, it’s been a nice camera so far. I still need to get those “free” classes in from Ritz, though, so I can make better use of the settings and what not.

Yeah, what did you get? I’m using a canon powershot A90. It’s a little older camera, but it takes great pix of people, car wrecks, and corpses.
