Finally! I've got what I was looking for - Canon 350D Digital SLR, a prosumer single lens reflex camera. The kit lens is a bit weak 18-55/3.5-5.6, so I immediately had to equip it with the decent piece of optics. It appeared to be Canon EFS 17-85/4-5.6 with ultrasonic motors and image stabilizer... Mmmm! 8 megapixels and you can spend the rest of your money on accessories! This really justifies that the only difference between men and boys is the cost and size of their toys. My first daylight session in Stockholm is available here. Please keep in mind that this animal is still very complicated for me but I'm trying my best.

For those who feel that having a Mac can help doing a better job or inspire in some sense while drawing, composing music or simply reading e-mail, a hack is now available for PC. They call it FlyakiteOSX. It's an interface emulator that goes a bit deeper than just substituting your theme. Personally, I'm using it for several days already and still have no intention to remove it. The first step towards buying a white piece of equipment is taken :) "You make your choice and you live with it."

I'm just back from the farewell O'Connors pub (next time Guinness madness will probably take place in late August or September+) where Ruslan suggested to evolve the topic of my blog spot. Perfect timing! Exactly when I'm going to leave for holidays for a month... Sorry Ruslan, but for some reason you do not appear on my mobile photos today. Anyway, besides general blah-blah there are two things I will try to post here, namely different sketches of my designs of any kind and links to interesting software that may help you get the most out of your blue screen companion.

Thanx to Douglas Bowman for a nice blog design created on February, 26 which accidentally happened to be my birthday. Let's see what will happen to my new blog page...
