yeah I've been without a working camera for several months now and its really getting to me. MY 30d is currently on the Disabled list. Stupid wind knocked (johnny k's) tripod over with my camera on it in my driveway landed right on the shutter button area so shutter button doesnt work i really need to go get it fixed. i dono what im waiting for. kinda wish i could just get a new one. also my most expensive and favorite lens (28-75 2.8 lens) is lost somewhere in my house. so yeah not fun. I really need to get it working because the longer i go without it the more and more im feeling completely out of touch with the world since photography has been pretty much my only vice, its what i know and its what im well somewhat good at so yeah i need to get working on getting it fixed so i can get my life back in order. so yeah. Also college at Art Institute went pretty awful the past 2 quarters so im not sure if I'll be going back right away. sucks. damn expensive school that is very unforgiving blarg! Also still jobless and running out of money it really sucks. so a lot is going not so good right now so i really need to get my shit together so i can get things back on the right track if i can even find it haha well im sure ive bored you long enough...peace!
