So I suddenly feel like a new person... Awesome!

So, for the longest time, I only had my Rebel XT and a kit lens. I went through a few lenses and a flash, but in the end I had to sell them all for financial reasons. So, for the last few months I haven't really been motivated to go shoot at all, and I stopped carrying my camera bag (man-purse, as my wife calls it) everywhere I go. Yea, sucks not being motivated to do what you love...

Well, that's finally changed. Last Saturday I saw a great deal for a Rebel XTi on CL, so I bought it, and then sold my XT to make up almost all of the money I spent. That was a big upgrade for me, which was awesome. The next day, I bought a 420ex flash again, icing on the cake! Then today, I made myself VERY happy. This morning I bought a perfect Sigma 70-300mm w/macro, which I LOVE so far, and will be nice for track days. Then, this afternoon, I acquired a VERY nice Sigma 12-24mm! I've wanted a nice wide angle for a long time, but they are all out of my price range. Well, this one is awesome and gets GREAT reviews, and it was something I could trade for, so I jumped on it...

Wow, I can't even put in to words how motivated I am now. What an AWESOME feeling!!!


Ok, sorry to ramble. Just thought I would share...
