So I bought a new camera. And I can’t help but blog about it. Please forgive me.
This appeared randomly on the facade of the pharmacy down the street from me on Comm Ave. Incidentally, some neighbors and friends of mine say that this pharmacy sells liquor.
Next time Voices without Votes does a post on Brazil, let’s be sure to use this.
The other thing I spent a lot of money on this year.
The camera is a Canon Digital Rebel XTI and was a pretty huge purchase for me, admittedly (not so much financially as because I’ve wanted one for a very long time). I asked for advice from a lot of friends (or simply checked flickr to find out what camera they use) and it came down to the Nikon 60D and the Rebel XTI in the end. I did peek at a Sony too, but it felt so cheesy in hand that I immediately disregarded it, despite it being $200 cheaper and coming with a better lens (better zoom, that is, plus Minolta is now owned by S...

Hi, I just joined my school newspaper and I find myself in many low light situations in which I am not happy with the photos. Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to make them look better (settings etc.) without that horrible flash look. For example, I just saw a photo of a concert from far away that doesn’t look like it’s taken by flash and is obviously in the dark. Please help! ... more
My LCD screen on my Canon Rebel XTI will not come on. The camera just shows a screen with ISO AUTO and information stating that the camera is on Full Auto with other symbols. I always could have a video preview of what I was photographing before and...... more

Boston, Sunset From: jilliancyork.com Post Date: 2008-07-19 05:08:26
Despite the unfortunate ending to this evening (apparent food poisoning), it was - all in all - a great day. I hadn’t been downtown in almost a month (save for two trips to my old job on Atlantic Ave.) and was lucky to catch it in my favorite light of sunset. These photos give me cameralust all over again (cameralust=the urge to run out and by a digital SLR).

I really wasn’t going to blog about this. It’s been done to death - even PostGlobal covered it four times yesterday. An Iranian, an Emirati, a South Korean, and a German all weighed in, all with different opinions. I covered it yesterday for Global Voices as well, quoting several Arab-Americans, as well as a white American, and someone of unknown origins - again, all different opinions. A cursory glance at the blogosphere finds the same thing.

When do we lose that childlike excitement at traveling? That excitement, so easily inspired in me just 10 short years ago by a trip to Disney World (and I’d been abroad by that point), has ceased to exist. The last time I felt it was Prague, but then could Prague inspire anything less in anyone?
It breaks my heart a little each time I land in a new city and feel simply ordinary. It’s normal, of course - the more places you see, the more you are able to draw compariso... more
The world is full of possibility. And coincidence. And inspiration.
I don’t know where to start. I feel naked; no less than three times this week have I felt that thoughts have been pulled directly from my head. It is that same phenomenon of exposure that inspires me to write…and to read. The book I’m reading right now - which shall remain nameless until I finish it and can thus write about it properly - follows a similar theme, at least by page 100, anyhow. It&#... more
