alpha omega

so anyways. Nikon just announced the d3 and the d300. What is it about these things that makes me say "yeah, I'll buy that." I have a d200, which does everything the d300 does, you know, minus maybe 3 features, that for some reason, I really want. Full frame? Self cleaning? Everything else? Sign me up. d3x has 9fps of 12mp, 25,600 ISO (so you can take pictures in a blackhole). What the heck.

what's the deal with taking on jobs that don't pay me. I typically get involved with stuff that never will pay me, but I think "hey, this is a future investment, and someday I'll be really rich because of the time I'm putting in now." 3 weeks of being up until 4 and not a dime in my hand is a little frustrating. I keep going to meetings where we talk and talk. "Would it be great if.." "Wow, we could really sell this if..." wtf guys. show me the money to quote the late cuba gooding jr.

and why do I bother with photography anyways. nobody pays me for it and if you want to be a pro, you have to start wearing a bandanna and buy a really crappy flash template website that every single other photographer out there is using, and for some reason everyone thinks they are hot shit when the one image fades to the next, but they don't even think that maybe the website could be a template. It's like buying a honda and telling people you made it, and for some reason, everyone says "how the hell did you fit all these injection molded parts into the engine? you must be hot shit"

i guess working for nothing, but doing something I like is better than making money, getting a d3x, hating myself and being miserable every second of my working life.
