Though I am excited about the D80, oh yes I am, I am even more excited about the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens that will arrive some time next month. Oh sweet mother. I think buying this lens forces me to now refer to camera lenses as "glass," oh-most-pretentious of photographer lingo. Next thing you know I'll be throwing around "bokeh" with the best of them, and won't I just be the fanciest girl this side of Mississippi.
And just because when I go all out, I go all out, I will also soon be the proud owner of the Crumpler Sinking Barge, which has been on my amazon wish list for over a year now, so can't call that one an impulse buy. (I own the McBain's Lovechild for my trusty old iBook -- which has gotten much use over the past few months what with the MacBook Pro woes DAMMIT I WASN'T GOING TO MENTION IT IN THIS POST -- and I love it.) Aaaand, I finally got a Speedlight, so I can play with the bounce flash big kids now instead of just yapping around and nipping at their ankles.
Ok, I think that is it. Expect marvels of photographic excellence to be posted here soon. In the meantime I leave you with this picture of my kid, who I promise has had a haircut since:
