I *DID* buy a D70 today!!

Speed, I hope you're looking buddy!

So, this is the end of an era.

I am one of the last photographers on the planet to buy a digital SLR.

So let me just get this out of the way...

DIGITAL SUCKS IT'S THE ANTICHRIST I HATE IT GO AWAY

and...

It's nearly impossible today to have a professional workflow without it.

So, after helping our friend Natalie shoot a wedding last fall I realized that I do, indeed, need a DSLR if I am going to be shooting people and weddings. Which I am.

Film will stay around for my landscape photography and personal portrait projects.

I went shopping for DSLR's, and with the help of my mom buying me an early Christmas present I was able to pick up a Nikon D70s, a fair deal at $450 from KEH, I thought. I did a lot of research and no other camera seemed like a good deal to me. This should last me until I can reach the D3

So... here it is, the end of an era of exclusive film shooting for me, and...

My first pictures posted from my own DSLR.

(self portraits, of course )
