This Helped

I got a new camera a couple of weeks ago. It's one of those fancy Digital SLR thingamajiggers that I'd been putting off getting for a while because I rather like the sorts of pictures I get from my automatic/manual/no flash dealy. Anyway, the camera folks at the local camera store explained how I could still get blurry, out of focus shots with my brand new Nikon D60, so I was persuaded. I told myself that on days when I don't feel like blogging, but I still wanted to post something I could take a walk with my camera and take pictures of things that showed how I feel.
What I really really wanted to take a picture of TODAY was this totally bad-ass guy wearing a black leather jacket and a bandanna with super long 80's hair walking his little white puppy.
Not that I feel like that... I just saw him walking his dog and thought sweet! But I'm not up to the photographic stage of taking pictures of strangers, especially when they look completely bad-ass despite the cuteness and smallness of their pets. I'm not about to get my camera smashed on the sidewalk for that sort of visual oxymoron.
Anyway. This is how I feel today.

Great photos!
I think you will love your D60. I just got a Nikon D3000 and it rocks having a camera that does what you want it to.
You will have so much fun with this. It's an "in the moment" way of expressing your creativity.
I really look forward to seeing more of your photos. Keep posting. :)
Ms S: I'm pretty much in love with my new camera. I'm just starting to wonder what I'll do with all of the images, how am I going to save them, which ones do I get print copies of, etc. It's a whole new world.
