So i always think of tax season as a second Christmas for some folks b/c soon as they get that money you see them with new this and new that....just like a second Christmas.

Well it wasn't any exception for me either...that being said i took some of my money and invested it in my photography hobby and upgraded my equipment, ill post some pics at the end. I ended up getting a Canon t1i....15 MP, full HD movie mode@1080 and 720....this makes my THIRD DSLR.

Also went ahead and ordered an external flash, especially needed one for when i shoot certain kind of shots in low light or at night. and lastly i ordered me a 50mm lens...or nifty fifty as their called....along with some other nick knacks. i must say, besides my car this is the second best investment I've made in a long time.

You just have no idea how long I've been wanting this stuff, ESPECIALLY for my family reunion in July up in NY/NJ. So that's why I've been doing a lot of reading up on the subject at hand trying to get as much practice as i can as well as learn new techniques to get the perfect shot every time.

I got a cousin that models and i told her once i get everything, she better be ready b/c I'm going on a shooting spree with her lol.

One thing that's been bothering me though this whole process is that sure i like to take pics of random things but i know a few shots of myself should be included in it but.....for some reason i just don't like taking shots of myself. For some reason i just don't think i was made to be in front of the camera, maybe I'm being hard on myself, i don't know.

But I'm still sticking by my motto "if a picture is worth a thousand words then I'd rather let my camera do the talking for me"......

But other than that everything else has been copesthetic. Still working....3 years with the job in June....had my car for over a year now...and still ain't been late on not one payment....i mean I'm just been blessed all around and plan on keeping it that way for me and my loved ones around me. But as i promised here's a few shots of my new toys and HD video i did.
