Wow...

Has it really been almost 4 years since I was active on this site?  A lot has happened since then.. which I may indulge in the coming months.  What I would like to say is I am getting a massive itch.. well really I have had the itch for awhile, but I want to get back into Photography.  I am looking back at my gallery the last few months and have been absorbing a lot of video content on the web as well and want to get back into both.  As some of you may know, just before my absence I was starting to get into video with the Calgary DA Meet commercials and such.  My current plan is to save up for a Canon 5D Mark II with a really decent lens.  Currently I am eyeing up the 24mm 1.4 (or is it 1.2? I am pretty sure its the 1.4) which I *think* will be a good prime lens for both photography and video.  I could be wrong, but I am sold on getting that as my first lens as I am sure it will be awesome regardless and I may just have to use it for certain applications.

I am not sure who all still follows me, or for that matter still uses DA, but if you are one of them please leave a comment, even if just to say 'Hi'.

So I've sold my camera.  The only piece of photography equipment I have now is my tripod and a Casio Exilum.  I don't think I will be doing photography for a very long time, so if any of my watchers were looking forward to seeing more from me, I apologize.

I have a video project that's been on the back burner for awhile that I hope to start production of in the next 6-12 months.  Something to look forward to if you are interested in videos.

Lastly, I am working on another CalgaryMeet event.. it's been much too long since the last one.

I am giving up my Olympus Evolt e-500 dSLR camera, and giving all you lovely people who watch me first dibs on purchasing it before I move to usedcalgary/ebay/etc.

Camera is a little over 2 years old now, and comes with two kit lenses:

Olympus/Zuiko Digital 14-45mm Portrait Zoom lens
Olympus/Zuiko Digital 40-150mm Telephoto Zoom lens

I still have the boxes/warranty cards/etc.



If you're interested, note me with your offer.

..but I don't know what.  I just feel like there needs to be something, somewhere.  Whether it be something physical or not I don't know.  It's just a feeling I have right now.  Maybe I need to explore photography more, maybe I need to explore videography.  Perhaps it's something completely different; perhaps it's a need to explore earth or maybe it's a need to explore myself.

This new place is great, I sleep so well, and feel rested when I get up.  Still have some boxes to unpack, but mostly everything is unpacked and setup.

Anna and I will be having a housewarming in July, so if you're interested in attending, leave a reply here or send a note :)

Not much else to report.. been playing a lot of pokemon: diamond the past 4-5 days.  Scaling Mt Coronet currently to get to the top to find Mr Cyrus; only a couple more gym badges to go.
