Well, it took just under a year, but I finally worked up the courage (and saved up the $$$) and bought myself a dSLR. Cannon 400D. I don't know why, but its messed with my head a bit...

Don't get me wrong, I am more excited about it than anything since going to France (maybe more so) but I dunno, I guess I feel a certain responsibility, to make the most of it, to take good photos, that mean something. Still, baby steps...

1) Learn to ballance apature and shutter-speed.
2) Better lenses
3) Take over world.

It's fool proof I tell you...
