look ma i can choose to focus Originally uploaded by dressform.
this was what was in my box.... i splurged... i went for it.... the big D50! good for my work, right?? [part of my justification] i was lucky enough to get a zoom lens... so far so good. there are so many settings i can't get over my choices. and the clarity .... mmmmm.... i had a dream that i was using photos in my art... that someone saw the polaroids and wanted to have a show of them [yes, wishful thinking but isn't that what dreaming is for??] i've been taking more polaroids too! i think it's because i'm feeling so OUT of my studio that i want to be doing something where i'm looking. something creative. something where i'm searching.... 
the ranunculas are starting to open... so wishing for spring... although i have to say this insane weather we are having is entertaining... hail, rain, sun, wind, thunder, lightening... snow in san francisco?!?! all in random order.... drawings tomorrow!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!! I'm so happy for you!
i'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with this new camera! how fun!
Ahh, a new toy - much excitement! And luckily, just in time for Spring. Happy playing...
Oooooh! How exciting! Love the pictures of the flowers!
glad you splurged!
can't wait to see what comes out of it.
and what is up with the weather - we had snow, then 72 degrees - its like mother nature is having an arguement with winter!
again so cool about the camera!!!!!!!!!
way to go girl re the camera!! it'll be fun, for sure. with flowers blooming spring can't be too far away.
Isn't it a wonderful camera? I still can't believe the quality of the photos. Enjoy!
very glad for you.
the D50 is so much fun. i am still figuring mine out and loving it. enjoy!!!!!!! :) mav

well, I guess I'm just going to have to move next door to you so I can occasionally borrow your fab new camera. how annoying would that be?... :)
YAY!!!!! D50's are the BEST BEST BEST!!!!! Let me know when you find out neat & exciting things with it, we can trade secrets! What zoom lens did you get?! Im jealous! Regardless, we can be D50 friends for life!!! :D

liesel... yeah... i was super happy w/ my canon, but the clarity w/ the D50... it's really striking! the lens does matter!!
mav... :) sure seems like you have it figured out!
shari... thanks....re: the polaroids too... means a lot!

yes, it's always when I can't be in the studio that I want to be there. To wit, it's spring break and all I want to do is (a) clean my kitchen [done!], and (b)lounge around eating (or, better yet, being fed) bonbons and watching movies. Obviously neither of those things = the ton of work I needed to be in the mood to do in the workroom this week. But I would put money on wanting to be in there again AS SOON as school starts back up on Monday. Ha. Sigh.
amanda... yes! you will be the first to know if i learn anything!!
eireann.... right there with you!!! :)
l.o.v.e. ranunculas!
and yay! for the camera
