Big Love

It took me a while but I've finally found a hobby. Or rather, it has found me. Then it bit me in the foot.

Shortly after Little Dude was born, I upgraded from an old Canon Ixus that I had swiped from someone and never returned (sorry sorry sorry but it's in very good condition), to a Canon 350D. My starter kit SLR, so to speak. It's great for taking snapshots of Sonny Son Son, but then I stumbled upon this woman's photographs and now I'm just obsessed and sick with jealousy. Why can't I make my pictures look like that. And it's not just her. Flickr is full of these people. Just check out the photographs of the people who make comments to her photographs. Vomit.

Signed up for a photography class. Found out during the 2nd class that we have assignments. For which we will be graded. Just received the first assignment (take a bunch of photos identical to the ones that the teacher has emailed to us) and would have laughed and laughed if it wasn't so tragic. Wanted to write back to the teacher and say, dude, you have been smoking some serious shit. If I could take photographs like that, I wouldn't have signed up for the class.
