D7000 Time!

So, I am currently broke BUT I have a new D7000 and it is totally worth the penny-pinching I'm going to have to do for awhile =) I realize that it has been a long long time since I've posted but I thought that it'd be better to wait to post good news along with the bad and the mundane. The last month has been pretty hectic. Teaching can be both extremely rewarding and mind-numbingly painful ...

Picture Time: Streets of Hong Kong

Since my last post was a ton of writing, here are some photos to make up for it: These are just a series of photos that I took around the city! I hope you enjoy them =...

Moving to Hong Kong Advice

I've traveled around the world since I was born. Living in different countries and being surrounded by people who don't speak English doesn't phase me in the least.

Souped Up Blog!

The reason for this is that I am officially moving to Hong Kong on August 17th, and am currently looking for a job. Not so fun to be in Hong...

Telephoto Time: Nikon 55-200mm

So I've once again lapsed in my output of blog posts... But now my internship is over for all intents and purposes (is it bad that I wanted to write all intensive purposes?) and all I have is one more session of housekeeping, so hopefully I'll be able to post a bit more often... Well, I promised a...

Lens Playtime: Pro-Optic 8mm Fish-Eye Lens

I hope I'm keeping you on your toes about when I'm going to post next. Now that I've got some new lenses, I figure that I might as well demonstrate what they can do! As a refresher, I have purchased a refurbished Nikon 55-200mm 1.4-5.6 f and a Pro-Optic 8mm fish eye lens (I also picked up a new carrying...
