for the sake of updating

Just wondering if it says something about me that most of the works I fave are pics of girls.

It's now been over a year since I last updated.  I completely forgot to note on here that I got a new phone with a camera that surpasses my old W810i.  So logically, I should be taking pictures again - more so, in fact, since it goes with me everywhere.

Still, like the W810i, the C702 lacks a true flash, and it only has an LED.  It's a good LED, but I'm not entirely satisfied.  I'm also a bit low on the creative juice, though the recent change in scenery might spruce me up a bit.  We'll see.

The C702 cost me a pretty penny, but I can't help but love it more than what I've been dealing with til now.  Later this year, however, I'll probably deprecate even this phone in favor of one with a true flash.  I believe that'll be the C905.  We'll see how my wallet's doing around that time.

So my lovable lil' camera phone died on Christmas.  Someone dropped it or something, so it still worked, but the display was dead.  Either way, it's gone now, probably been refurbished and given to someone else.

My replacement phone is a Sony Ericsson W580i, which has a camera of identical resolution, but without even an LED spot, pics in any kind of darkness are out of the question.  The picture quality is also worse than my old phone, but still above average.

Needless to say, I'm not going to have any worthwhile updates for a long time.  I can barely use this camera just for day-to-day shots and social events, much less anything artworthy.

Once I recover my financial situation from rampant holiday spending, I'll hopefully get myself a nice little point-and-shoot digital camera, preferably one with decent photo quality, good flash, and 5+ Mpx.  Even better would be a good optical zoom, short focus/shoot time, and tripod mountability.

ugh, I'm probably looking at $200-500, which is cheap for a camera, but still well out of my way.  Looks like that SLR will have to wait like.... forever.

Man, it looks like my favorites have been nearly completely taken over by UDON.  What can I say, they're good!  Then again, they're professional, too.

I got a new phone, which actually has a 2.0 Mpx camera on it... which is the same resolution as my Canon.  -_-;;;  Needless to say, I'm not going to be carrying around that old thing very much anymore.  There's still things my Canon can do that my phone can't, and the actual photo quality is still better, but for day-to-day things, it's just not convenient anymore.

Maybe one day when I have a bit more money, I'll get myself an SLR, and as long as I'm dreaming, it'll be 10 Mpx.  A nice array of lenses and flashes and a fancy tripod with a remote shutter.  *sigh*  And on that day, I'll take a road trip and take some great pictures.  And you'll all get to see them.

One day....
