...duuude.



 Life's great. Nuf said.

Hope you all have a great week!



When it comes down to it, what really matters? When it comes to life, why are we here, living now, here in our respective roles? Life, touched by death, suddenly seems to have so much more meaning to it. So much more depth. So much more reality. 


The meaning of life is something that is clear to me. But just recently while talking with a friend he gave me the challenge to ponder what life means to me. They are two very different things.


The cliche phrase after a death has touched someone's life is to "not take your own life for granted." But what does that mean? Sure: live each moment. Live each moment. Fully. Yet, when you're faced with death, that's really the last thing you want to do. Smiles are forgotten and laughter seems far off. 


Yet, 


We have something to laugh about.

and life isn't a hopeless mush

and tomorrow the sun is going to rise.

It's going to be cold, and

maybe a lil' cloudy

but we'll still have things worth living for

we just gotta make that worthwhile.

(blatantly copied from afore-mentioned conversation)

Think about it. What does life mean to you? Is it just a day-by-day happening..or is there something more to it between life and death?

Technical Difficulties

Hello blogosphere! A friend kindly "reminded" me that I haven't posted any photos of late. I had the best of intentions to do that tonight...but as I am using a Mac (very foreign territory) I can't figure out how to get the photos off Oliver and onto my blog. This could be a problem...but I'll post them as soon as I get this figured out :)

On a happier note...Oliver's lens is safely on its way to Nikon in Burnaby to be fixed. It's hard to explain what went happened to it as I don't really know how to describe it. A little piece broke off of it, and that little piece helped it stay in the body of the camera. So I think it should be an easy fix. And, since it's covered under warranty...also free :)

In the mean time...I've got an 18-200mm lens :D That's kind of a big deal. I'm sort of in love with it.

Oh, and today at work I got to talk with a real live professional photographer ;) He's been at it since the mid-70's and has done some super work. I showed him a few of my photos and he said I've got "the eye" that photographers need. We're going to keep in touch, and hopefully he can show me a few of his Nikon tricks one day!

Repairs...

I'm afraid it's time to send Oliver out for repairs :/ or, the lens rather. It's not staying on properly. I sort of freaked out when I saw it just barely hanging from where it should be...but Nikon's great, and it's still under the 5 year warranty. Now to see if I can borrow a lens from work for the time that mine is shipped out...
