I ordered my new camera around the time I started this blog page. I expected the camera to be here sooner so that I could use it to help spark my blog, but it has taken FOR ever. I had it on pre-order, and usually I don't do that for electronics because I always have to read the review, but this is a Nikon. I trust Nikon very much. I ordered myself a red Nikon Coolpix P500, one of their new ultrazoom models. I don't really need a fancy, high end, top of the line camera. I shoot photography as a hobby, I am no professional and nor do I aspire to be. Sometimes I just see something and I have to capture it in a photo. I chose this camera because it is very similar to those fancy cameras but it is at a fraction of the price. Some of those cameras can get up to two thousand or more. If I were professional I would understand the need, but since I'm not, I went for the nice, sleek, BEAUTIFUL Coolpix. It was said to be released on March 3rd, but today is the sixth and it is only now being shipped to me. It will arrive on my doorstep on March 9th. I cannot wait. Then I will finally be able to get started with my photography blog that I've been trying to do.
By the way, I am giving up medical school for graphic design. If you're gonna do it for the rest of your life, you'd better love the shit out of it, right? Art's my thing.
I encourage whoever reads this to do the same - just do whatever you want! Fuck social acceptance and the restraints of reputation or of your parent's or peer's opinions. Be great and do what you want to do!
