My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
After working like a banshee this past Christmas retail season, I decided to treat myself to a digital camera and a day trip into my favorite city on the east coast.
I rarely indulge in extravagances, but I used the money that my wonderful mother and awesome brother gave me this year for Christmas, to finally get a camera. I would like to start taking my own photographs and sharing them as narratives on some of my blog posts, so I felt it was time.
Allow me to interject here that because I’m a Libra, making a decision to purchase something is like trying to push a 900 pound elephant wearing a pink tutu, through a key hole. It’s IMPOSSIBLE.
Well, not actually impossible, but extremely painful.
I think I would almost rather have red hot chili peppers rubbed on my nipples, than make a purchase decision.
And what I find incredibly ironic is that I can easily make a decision on something life-changing, however ask me to decide on the blue shirt versus the green shirt, and you’d swear I was making a choice that would dramatically affect the rotation of planet earth.
So after much research, I purchased a Nikon Coolpix L22. It’s easy to use, has excellent features, and was reasonably priced. The reviews I read on it were very positive.
Later, I’ll upgrade to something more advanced. But I think this camera will give me some great practice and a lot of enjoyment. It also takes movies!
Tomorrow morning (Tuesday), I'll be heading into NYC for the day to walk around, soak up some of that creative life-force energy, and take loads of images with my new camera.
I’m so excited!
And yes, I’ll be sharing about my trip and some photos on Friday’s post.
I’ll be gone all day and won’t get back into Philly until late, so I won’t be online at all tomorrow.
Oooooo....
And I will most likely be spending some time in Greenwich Village, hanging out at The Leather Man; trying to decide on whether I should purchase the black leather shorts or chaps.
Wish me luck!
