new camera














i got this amazing new camera and i've been trying to use it as much as i can (which means lots of pictures of my cats and my mum...and a few of the kids where my mum works) even though i've only had it for a few days and i don't quite know what all the buttons do yet haha. photography is really new to me. i got into it once i started blogging and i'm super glad that i did! it's such a fun creative outlet. i love trying new art forms (although usually i'm stuck in the land of acrylic paintings) and learning new things. and even if i don't delve any deeper into photography, well, it's definitely something i can carry with me later on in life. like when i'm taking pictures of my grandkids. or, if i don't have children, my many many cats...

ps- you can see more of my photos (most of them were taken with my old camera, though) on my Flickr account.

  7. That is a VERY nice camera, indeed. I "know" a guy on Flickr--whose photo work is amazing--he saved up for one and he loves it. Will check out your stream soon. Have fun with your new creative tool!

  8. I've been in the market for a new camera before my move. I think I may just stop by Pro Photo when I'm back in Portland for a weekend.

hi! i'm Lena, but you can call me Lulu. i love Frida Kahlo, feminism, art, reading, kitties, and drinking tea. i love the film Amelie and i think that the tiny traveling gnome has stolen my heart. i want to own a bookshop and live above it one day. i get quite passionate about things. i tend to think too much. i'm kind of a hermit.
