Just an Update

So, anyone reading these are porbably wondering why I haven't written in a while. Well, the easy answer is that there is nothing to write about. Beverly and I are planning a trip to Australia and New Zealand for Aaron's wedding and some vacation, but that is about it. We are probably going to buy a new digital camera before we go. We are going to get a Canon 20D. They were just discontinued and replaced by the 30D, so the prices are falling, and will hopefully fall more before I need to purchase it in a few weeks. We will also get the 17mm-85mm IS lens for it. That is apparently the best, all-around, lens for the camera. So, after I get it and use it I will let everyone know what I think of it.

Now that you read that you may be thinking, am I going digital? No, I am not going all digital. Digital has its place. I still like using film. I like the 4x5 I use. It is a great camera, but for vacations like this a smaller camera is advantageous, and I want a camera that will work well, and create good images. So, I could go medium format film, but after discussions with Beverly we decided to go with a DSLR. I am not owrried about film availability either. Film will be around for a very long time (At least for what I want film for - 4x5 and up).
