I just got my hands on a new camera. I traded in my Sony A230L for a Canon EOS 350D. I'm really excited and fiddling around with the new camera a lot. It's quite a bit of fun.

I've been up to a lot. My biggest regret is that I left my DSLR at home when I went abroad this past spring. I went to Helsinki, Saint Petersburg, Pavlovsk, Novgorod, Pskov/Pushkinskie Gory, Moscow, and Prague earlier this year. I didn't even have a camera at all for the first couple of months I was overseas, and when I did buy one, it was just a point and shoot and I only took touristy photos. I'm so annoyed at myself for not taking advantage of being in some of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Europe and not photographing them properly!

Anyway. I'll be 21 soon. Less than 3 weeks. Weeee.
