I want a 5D…

…i dont need a 5D…but i also think its a bit expensive…

Thing is…what is expensive…we always try to get away with the cheapest solution…make a bargain…end of season sale. Come to think of it we waste lot of money on stuff we dont need…like cigs, beer…COFEE!!! why someone would pay 30k for coffee is beyond my understanding. But then again I am being judgmental. Or its just my opinion.

Point being…nothing is cheap…and expense can take different forms…its does not need to be monitory. Sacrifices is a kind of expense. How much are you willing to sacrifice for something. It can be people, places or in this case money.

How far will you go to get that frame. Jeff Ascough said something interesting…”you cannot put a price on memories…”

Lot of people wrongly think that its me who takes the frame…its the camera+lens…ok maybe a good eye helps.

Coming back…as i said…i want a 5D. So i tried to see my 30D for 5k NOK or 35kRs. But not one seems to be interested, which surprises me…few years back i spent 20k Rs on a FZ5. Compared to that this is a steal. One reason i guess is because i am not selling a lens with it…why would i?…i have just prime lenses and not everyone wants them…most people are happy with a standard 18-55 kit lens, which retails for close to nothing.

I could reduce the price…but it just feels wrong to sell it any cheaper…if you like photography then be prepared to shell out some serious money. Suri…make some money…then like the good old days we can take some awesome frames…

First weekend in Olso…Olve was kind enough to invite me for dinner. Had some really good and spicy Thai food.

Then on saturday luckily Olve got a splitting headache and i got watch Kungfu Panda…which was really good…thx to Olve again…

I also watched the trailer of Watchmen…and man is it awesome!!!…so i borrowed the Graphic Novel from Abel…and its AWESOME!!!

Finished reading The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh…which was a nice book…so much better than the damn Midnight Children by Salman Rushdie…dont worry suri…i will still complete the book…

…this update was to be done on sunday…day before i left bay…but i could not do it due to technical difficulties(a net connection that’s slower than dial up).

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

to all who made my time in bay awesome…

this has been the best vacation in bay so far…this despite all the ups and downs…

strangely enough i did not shoot that much film in bay…4 rolls…gave 6 rolls of film to the lab today…

i also got bored of digi pretty soon in bay…luckily the last few days gave the best frames of the trip…as usual…ALWAYS CARRY YOUR CAMERA

it was blast to be home and spend time with my family and friends…sadly i turn into the most lazy ass as soon as i step foot in my house in bay…

the return trip was also exciting…on my way from Helsinki to Stockholm…the pilot announced that due to a sudden drop in oil pressure we would have to turn back…nice…landed and we were surrounded by half a dozen fire trucks…

goto Oslo…bought a burger from Stat Oil…as usual…got home…which now feels empty without my Austrian mates…and then it started pouring cats and dogs…
