Step One
I've been stuck in a bit of a rut lately, and I haven't been taking many photos (which, combined with a distinct lack of interesting things to say, has cramped my style here).
The good news is that I'm undertaking a two step program to remedy this.
The first step involves the purchasing of new camera lenses: a 28-200mm zoom lens and a 50mm f1.8 lens, both shiny new Nikons. I'm looking forward to getting some nice depth-of-field shots with the f.18 lens, though I think it'll still fall short of the crazy macro on my old Coolpix camera (which was an amazing digicam for its time).
I've also just acquired a bright happy new Crumpler bag to keep my camera and new lenses in, along with the MacBook Pro I never got around to posting about. My trusty old red Crumpler, which has been my almost constant companion for about five years now, has been retired. The Crumpler is dead. Long live the Crumpler!
More details on Step Two tomorrow.

I'm a big fan of both Macs and Crumplers. It's not even about practicality, they're just cool.
Do you have or have plans to get new software for the Macbook? I hear they're lightning fast but for max speed you need the new versions...

You do need new versions of everything to get the big speed boost from the Intel macs... sadly Adobe aren't on board yet, though that does mean come 2007 when they do release new versions of Photoshop and Illustrator, it'll be just like getting a new machine all over again!
And Crumplers are just damn funky, and indestructable... my trusty old red bag looks almost new, despite being dragged all over the place.
