It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]

Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
I have the best parents ever! They gave my my birthday present early last night! Yes it’s 3 months early (December 14th for those of you who might want to know) but who gives a damn i’m so freaking excited!
They got me a camera! I’ve been using my dad’s for a while and his is an older model digital camera and it’s really a pain in the ass.
Really they got me this early for a few reasons, #1 i’ve been helping my mom out as much as possible with my Great Aunt and they are both appreciative of my help.
#2 is that my dad was getting tired of me always borrowing his camera. He likes to take it with him places all the time and sometimes i’m using it so he can’t. That gets on his nerves so he just caved in and got me my own!
The quality of the pictures is just amazing! 12.2 Megapixles, 3 in. screen. Much more stuff but i’m still kinda camera retarded. I’m lucky enough that my dad’s hobby is photography so he owns many cameras and many lenses, and since he likes Canon and my new camera is Canon i can use his lenses too until i start getting my own.
The best thing is that right before they gave it to me i was trying to do another project with my dad’s camera and i was getting frustrated that the pictures weren’t coming out. My parents then called me down to “talk” and i was about to tell them that i hope i get a camera for my birthday since I’m tried of using my dad’s. Then my dad hands be a big box that says Happy Birthday on it.
I don’t think i’ve said “OMG” as many times before as i did at that moment. Oh and just a tease of my newest stop motion.
I’m still trying to figure out which song to make it to, but i’m going to choreograph my own dance to it. There are so many songs that i can think of using but none seem good enough yet.
Really i love my parents! This is just the best thing! Now my dad is excited about having his camera back as well. We might go out tomorrow to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and take pictures together!
Oh and more info on my new camera can be found here.

Sweet. The IS kit lens is a decent improvement over those for the older Rebels, from what I’ve read.
Stop-frame video already? I’d suggest you get to know the camera some, first, unless your test shots have come out acceptably okay :>
That looks like a great camera!
Early birthday presents are the best! 😀

My camera’s pretty good but, I would kind of like to get a new one. The thing that keeps the batteries in broke so, it’s being held together with rubberbands. And then it has a small screen so, I can’t always tell if the pictures are blurry until I load them onto the computer. So, if I take pictures out somewhere, I won’t know that some of them came out blurry until I get home and won’t be able to retake them. T_T

@Anonymous Coward:
hehe, thankies
congrats in your new camera. welcome to the DSLR club. ^^;
taking care of a DSLR is totally different from a digital camera. firstly u may want to consider getting a filter to protect the lens. and depending on the climate over at the US, a dry place to prevent the growing of molds. over here it’s very humid so i use a dry cabinet to suck out all the moisture.
gordons last blog post..In Camp Training Debrief
wow wow wow!!! i am so jealous!!!!!
@gordon:
first thing i did was get a bag, extra battery and a filter. it’s not humid here so i’m lucky about that but i do think that cabinet idea is a good idea.
@the_poop:
seriously it’s such an awesome camera!
The only birthday presents I ever get are clothes, from my Mom 🙁
