I am in need of a relatively cheap DSLR. Rather, I am in want, which is significantly greater than need because I am wiling to justify and pursue the interest. The newest camera with hundreds of features I'd enjoy is not currently going to be possible, so I'm looking for something older, necessarily under $1000.

2. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.

It was raining when I fell asleep, and ten hours later when I woke up. It's grey and warm enough to give a good guess as to the misplaced season...personally, I'm sure this is ( Read more... )

The past few hours have made up part of a wonderful day. The day as a whole needs a good deal of improvement in most other respects, but what has been done willfully is a gift. Yes, it's oblique, but I'm relaxing after twenty pages of new material. I'll get around to the context later.
