Hello friends.
So, I’ve still got some more Italy pictures to put up. I need to just set out some time to do it. I’ve been very busy with school and a million other things… you know the drill…
But I’m also here to rant about my camera. I’ve had it for several years now, so naturally it’s got some wear. In the viewfinder there are a whole bunch of dust particles that make it look all yucky… but that’s not a big deal- after all, it’s just the viewfinder. But [gasp] my lens has acquired some nasty dust particles as well. I’ve cleaned my filters and the surface of my lens (on both sides) but many of the particles are still there. They are so frustrating because then, after I take some nice pictures, I have to retouch the crap out of it! It’s like playing connect-the-dots… only instead of connecting them, I’m destroying them… it’s not nearly as fun. So needless to say, that’s kind of set me back a little… as well as the cold. I’m in my fifth week back at school now and we have yet to have a full week. Every week either had a snowday or delay or holiday! So the cold has kept me inside too…
I feel like more often than not, I put up ramblings full of excuses why I’m not taking pictures. Maybe I should just be honest: I’m busy and not terribly inspired. But hopefully some inspiration will return and I will be back on the ball, snapping away with my smudged be ever-trusty Nikon…
Till then,
Rachel
