cameras...

WAY off track from my researching.... but its summer break and its only the second week in....i'll be noting soon on the visual culture reader book im reading and will be reading all week while i sit on the boat in the beauitful ocean while getting skin cancer from the hot florida sun!!!

So,
as an undergrad I rushed into the decision to buy a medium format camera rather quickly. I did a little research and decided i couldnt afford a hassy and went with a bronica..... which was supposed to be the "little brother" to the hassy...whatever, dumb little me i know...

but anywho, i loved my bronica gs-1 when i got it and i used it like crazy, bought all the accessories including a lense from ebay that doesnt focus properly. So as soon as i finished out that year, the crappy school i went to (good ol USF) decided to upgrade its color processor and basically forced us to use digital or scanners for my last year..... i started getting into video and digital more and lazy as i was almost done and long story short... i haven't touched my bronica in...... 2 or 3 years.... so..... im thinking even though i wont get very much money for it these days (maybe half of what i payed for it) I'm gonna try and sell it.... And probably the best bet is to sell everything off, piece by piece so i get the most money for it.

So...then the next step is to get a nice little digital SLR (since i can't afford the medium format digis i use at RIT... I think im gonna go with the Canon 5d...

but that means i need to wait for my loan money or the money my parents gave me for graduating undergrad..... and i should probably get a job over the summer too... baH!!!! Wish i was rich!! ok well off to bed so i can go job hunting tomorrow........
