A lot of things to do today. It’s been busy for me the past few days trying to get the house cleaned up so that the place looks presentable. I prefer everything to be where I put things and I want to not have to worry so much about endless rounds of cleanup so that I can do other things that could potentially earn money like my photography.
I’ve been put on Diclofenac Sodium (Voltaren) which I take when I really need it: (in terms of my back being really sore) and it was for the most painful three days in February that I’ve ever had. It felt like my head was being twisted off my neck and I haven’t been in that much pain for a long time since I had my root canal and that hurt.
Currently I’ve been doing dishes. And that’s been a chore having to get the kids to do what they’re supposed to do in terms of making sure their own dishes are done by THEMSELVES! Unfortunately when certain persons who shall remain nameless don’t do it, it doesn’t bode well for the rule.
I do need to get out and get some photography done. My D50 is missing me and I it. It’s been a while since I’ve had the inclination to get out but since Spring is on it’s way, I’m getting a nasty case of cabin fever and am starting to feel like Travelocity’s Travelling Gnome. Leedaleedle lee-da di…A Leedle-leedle lee-da-dum…I need to get out of here…A leedle-leedle-dee dum-da-ah…
I’ve been spending more time with the L11 than the D50. Partly because it’s easier to carry than the D50 and it’s bright with a f/2.8 at the 36mm range going up to an f/5.2 at the far end. For me to get a basic 17-55mm f/2.8 would cost me in the neighbourhood of about $1600.00. And that isn’t worth it for a DX (CMOS format sensor 1.5X crop) lens. I would rather spend 300.00-400.00 more and get the 14-24mm f/2.8 lens if I’m going to go that far with buying a lens that’s bright.
I’ve done my taxes and I do get some money back this year. I have to get the forms in by April, but I do intend to get them in sooner than that because I want to get my money back sooner than that.
On February 28, 2010, we wandered over to Holland Park and I took a shot of this tree lit up…evidently Surrey wasn’t too keen on taking this down so quickly after Christmas.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to get out a lot more this summer and be able to take some more pictures.
