so how is everyone?

i know it's been a while, i know i don't submit as much stuff as i used to. i've been busy lately.
my parents are off in japan visiting my brother, so i've had a whole bunch of stuff to do while they're away, but enough excuses.

i swear i'll have a whole lot more to upload, and a whole lot more to talk about soon because of this;

5D mkII.

i bought one.

the most awesome tanji managed to get me a quote right before the prices jumped by nearly a thousand dollars (or in some cases, more than a thousand) at every camera store. so figuring that it's either now, or add another thousand onto the price, i went for it.
so now it's sitting beside me, in all it's full-frame glory.
i don't think it's quite sunk in just yet as to how much money i just spent, but the happies are still winning at this point!

i think just the fact that i can get iso 50 again for this first time since my crappy point-and-shoot days is reason enough for celebration.

my lil' old 400d is still around, and i'll still use it. i have an infrared filter that has untouched potential, so it'll still be around. it was/is a great little camera, but i had been pushing it to it's limits and it started to fall short in some situations, namely noise and narrow dynamic range, which the 5d excels at.

so i'm a very happy mrnudge, but a broke mrnudge.

maybe i can sell some photos. anyone want to buy a print?
