Another title might have better portrayed the excitement I'm feeling right now, but the enthusiasm left me with little or no creativity at all.
Finally, after more than a year of frustration & financial problems, I have managed to achieve one more thing that's on my photography goal & wish list. I bought the DSLR Camera & Lenses I've always wanted!!!
The gear consists of:
My thanks & gratitude goes to my girlfriend who helped finance the purchase. I have been looking for someone who could borrow me the money needed for this gear without wanting interest for it, but couldn't find anyone. Now that my girlfriend has a job, she was more than willing to lend a helping hand. She said it was her gift to me, but I told her I would only accept it if she would allow me to pay back the money when I get a job. So, that's our final bargain, at least from my point of view.
I haven't fully tested my gear yet. I did check them for faults & damages though, and luckily, they seem OK. I will try to take some photos tomorrow and find out what features this camera has to offer and what it's huge amount of buttons, knobs & wheels do. I've heard that one can program some of the buttons to their choice. If so, then that will be a real time-saver.
Ohhhhh, Can't wait till tomorrow!
Oh how EXCITING! I'm so happy for you AND your fiance! What an investment into both of your futures!
ReplyDelete*I'm probably just as excited (or more so) than you are! lol Can't wait to see some more of your fabulous work!
You're awesome Kyla! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteI'll do my best to come up with some photographs. I'm also leaving Holland for good soon and hopefully come against an environment that is photography rich.
I'm starting in Lebanon and I'll see where my camera takes me.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing lady in your life, you'd best get on that marriage bandwagon my friend, she's a keeper and not only for this. I hear and see the love you share here on your site. I know an awesome photographer too, he's a good friend of yours so if you asked him nicely he might even do wedding photos for you.... right Joseph? hehehe
I know trouble maker I am... on that note congrats once again and a very good day to you! I'm excited with you!
Well to be sincere Darlene, I didn't sleep either that night. I thought I would, but the child in me wanted to see it all.
ReplyDeleteThe lady in my life is here to stay, we haven't had and official wedding ceremony but we are married in my culture. We did that in Lebanon, but haven't yet planned a day for the white dress.
Ah, surely will give Joseph a call when we're both ready for that. Thanks for the tip.
Have a wonderful day!
