hmm...haven't used this thing in a long time. maybe time for an update.

i'm bored.

ok, to elaborate, i'm in san jose with 2 days left until i go to china. so i have nothing to do but to wait. well i've been looking online for digital slr's since i'm considering upgrading to something with more manual control. i've pretty much decided on the canon rebel xt. it's pretty cheap for a dSLR and i think it'll do nicely for my level of use. hehe i'll have too much fun with it when it comes. well if i get it. or rather, when i get it. too bad i can't have it for the olympics this august since i'm going to be there anyway. i'm just glad this trip isn't going to be one of those month and a half long ordeals through the jungles of some remote mountain village resulting in a busted knee. no more of that.

speaking of cameras and photography, half moon bay has some very nice spots on the pier for photo taking even by amateurs such as myself. i think i really like that damp, cool, gray coastal weather. it was 62 degrees the day i went. and this is what i came back with:

it was too drab in colour, too washed out by the grayness of the day so i decided a b&w would be more appropriate. i think i was right. anyway, hopefully i'll get the canon slr and have more fun with lighting and exposure and such.
