Brent and I have set up a new system where we both make some money (he,quite a bit more than I) and I find excellent ways to spend it. In mass quanitites. I have been eying a new wide-angle lens for a while. I wanted
to do my research and make sure it was something that I would use and
put to good use. I was planning on renting a lens for the weekend just
to try it out and make sure that it would be worth the investment
::someday:: well let's just say that 'someday' came REALLY fast. Like 2
days later. I found out that the camera rental place was going out of
business and selling all of their inventory. I called the owner and he
said he had already gave it to the auction in Pocatello. That night I
told Brent about the auction, and the camera equipment, and asked him if
he wanted to go. He was game, a little bit to my surprise since if I
won the items I was looking for I knew it would not fall under the
"average shopping trip budget". So Saturday, we drove down in the mid
morning and waited for an hour and a half of auctioning old cars, and electronics. We watched an older couple buy 18 guitar hero sets and random other video game-esque things when they finally got to what we came for. 3 items and a few too many dollars later we went home with:
A flash, a BEAUTIFUL 14-24mm lens, and almost functioning tripod. Oh and that rug you ask, that's just a little somethin, somethin I whipped up this week inspiration from
THIS lovely photo
In my effort to consider this "money well spent", I have started another blog (that I will most likely abandon in a few weeks, except this time 'its different') where I take a picture everyday. I didn't think it would be do able but the past few days I have had ample time to complete such a task. Also, I would really like to improve my photography skillz. So....announcing:
