[link]So, while I was in Waihi, I was inspired to take some photographs. Although, to be honest, I could have taken a lot more than I did, and I didnt use the opportunity as well as I should have. Oh well. I did REALLY need some down time, and I did it by knitting, not photography.
I keep reminding myself that photography doesnt require a special time or place, merely my presence and ability to look outside of my head and compose something to come back to.
The end of an era has begun for me, my digital camera is officially dying. It's started to not record images properly, and refusing to focus... so lots of photos to ensure I get the one I need (which is what I do anyway, so no change there), but lots more manual focus to do!
I'm strongly leaning towards the Canon 40D. I want something that makes it worth spending the money - eg, something a LOT better than my camera. No point spending $1000+ if i'm not even going to get better features for it!
I just hope it holds out long enough to wait for the money status to reach an appropriate limit.
In the mean time, I can always borrow my boyfriends camera. And before you ask, no I haven't done anything to break my camera. Unofficially, Canons only last 50,000 photos, and I know for a fact that I am at least 20,000 photos. They dont just go *poof* and die, but after that, well, it is a digital item.

Waste Another Day - Brooke Fraser
Don't you say it's too early
Baby I don't wanna waste the day
When we've everything on our side
And nothing in our way
We can do what we wanna
'Cos today the world is ours
Nothing gray, just real time and colour
In which to whittle away the hours
We could speak 'til nothing's left unspoken
We could drive 'til we've run out of road
We could drink 'til we've emptied the ocean
But I'd be happy here
Happy just to hold you
'Til the suns and planets disappear
I could stay in your arms all year
Even if that means infinity through
If being productive is being with you
Then baby I don't want to waste another day
I'll shout aloud what I'm feeling
Let my tongue be still no more
Now I know that it's the real thing
Just try and keep me quiet about it
Oh...
'Cos we could stare until we both are blinded
We could fall 'til gravity gets tired
We could lose our love just to re-find it
But I'm just happy here
Happy staying beside you
