Photography Is Hard!

I'm two months in to my D90 ownership, and I'm totally in love with this camera. What I'm not as excited about, however, are my pictures. I have zero creative vision. I can look at other pictures and go "ohh, that's a nice one", but there are very few of my own that elicit such praise. From me other others (in fact noone else has said that about any of my pictures, but then again only very few of them are online). I suppose I could whore around for comments and faves on flickr, but I'd rather have pictures that I'm really happy with myself, first. Then (if ever) get the recognition of others.

I think one of the reasons for my lack of creativity is this terrible city that I live in. Brussels has got to be the grayest, most boring, least interesting place on earth to live in. Shit, a hole in the ground probably has more things to look at. Don't get me wrong, I have a great life... ...I just wish I was living it elsewhere... =/

Anyway, drop by (flickr) and leave a comment, if you feel one is warranted. Or if you just want to cheer me up ;)

Nikon Owner

I am now a Nikon owner. I have wanted an SLR for a large portion of my life. When I was young, I couldn't afford one. When I got older, I could afford one, but couldn't really justify buying one. I still can't really justify buying one, but I did it anyway, and I love my new camera! It is absolutely wonderful. I bring it everywhere with me now. Ok, maybe not to work or to the grocery store, but pretty much everywhere else. I have created a photostream on flickr, hoping to showcase some of my work, and get some feedback on the pictures I take. Why don't you head on over and take a look?


I purchased a Nikon D90 with an 18-105mm lens. I really love the ergonomics of it. I was considering the d5000 for a while, but the d90 gave me access to more things without having to go through menus, so I decided to spend the extra money. It was totally worth it!

I've been learning a lot, too. I've been all over the net, hoovering up any information I can get my dirty little hands on. In particular, there's this group on flickr called Nikon Digital Learning Center, which has been a fountain of good stuff.

Anyway, I'm very happy taking pictures, and I hope you'll be happy looking at them.
