Shutter

Because my family is looking to buy a few items, I was browsing through the Boxing Day flyers.  There are things that I want or would like, but none of them are things that I actually need.  Being me, I have no intention of spending on things that I don't need, unless it's something that I really really want.

Perhaps there is one thing......

Over the last few days, I guess the one thing that I have been doing is taking pictures.  The icy scenery outside is simply mesmerizing.  Who knows?  Perhaps we will never see the same kind of scenery again in our lifetime.  I guess this has sort of re-kindled my interest in photography.

For many years, I've loved to take pictures.  Mostly of scenery, landscapes, architecture, nature.  But as time has passed, it seems that I've sort of lost interest in it, for various reasons.  I've been talking about buying an SLR for years, and it still hasn't happened.  With all the beautiful things outside, and the sales going on now, a part of me is tempted to do it.

There is, perhaps, another motivation.  Through certain sources, I know that someone else has taken up some amount of photography.  How could I not be curious?

The packages on sale these days look very tempting.  I don't need anything too fancy, but I'd like something that would give me enough to play with, learn, and get some decent prints.

Tallied up my spendings this month and there's already $1,250 worth of "gifts".  Perhaps now is not the time to splurge on myself.

I may not be able to take in all the moments with you, but maybe I can capture them and share them with you when the time comes.

Or, this is just my wishful thinking, as usual.
