never good enough

So I have my 5D, and my insanely expensive 24L 1.4, and now I am awaiting my 85L 1.4

I have a family reunion to shoot for a friend this weekend, no pressure because I am invited too, and I am so excited to test these babys out! Since the kids have grown tired of me constantly with the camera in their face. Not only do they refuse to pose, smile, or even stand still. But Jordin is now the photog. She has HER “camer” Yes, CAMER, no “A”, just camer. And she’s gotta have hers if I’ve got mine. She’s a mess. She has upgraded from her princess fake camera to a REAL Olympus camera! Spoiled! She’s got the aiming down to find her subject. She’s got the pressing the button to shoot. But, like her Mommy she can’t do two things at once. So we have accumulated lots of floor and toe shots.

I am now in the market for some 580′s and a couple radio poppers. and I am set for a little bit.

Then I want to get some strobes

If I get a chance to this week I may take the kids out and play a little with the 24L. Maybe I can do a little guerrilla shooting and they will never know that there mommy is behind the tomato plants snapping away with her new camer.

I gave in…

I did it, I finally did it.
This morning I woke up and had one thing on my mind…CANON!!

After shooting a wedding with the fabulous Mr.Tom Cannon (ha!) and using a 5D at a wedding this past Saturday for 10 hours (as well as 3 nights last week) I couldn’t hold it back any longer! I WANT A CANON! But It’s much deeper than that. I don’t just want it, I NEED it, as in I have to have it, ie. My life will never be complete without it. Well maybe my life will be alright, but my photography will never be! This gear is really the next level. I fall in love with every photo I take with it, so much more depth, sharpness, color, contrast, and umm…MEGA PIXELS!! Yeeeeeah!!!
It does hurt to spend thousands of dollars in a few clicks of a mouse but it is really worth it!
What do you think?
(the photos in the post below are taken with it)

The Nikon I have now I bought, on a whim. Knew nothing about NOTHING, with zero intentions of using it for what I do now. Great camera, but Honey…I’m Movin’ On!

I am selling all of my Nikon gear and by 9am this morning had already purchased a Canon 5D. And by 11am I had already been to the camera store, twice. How exciting!! I feel like a kid on Christmas eve, I wont be able to sleep tonight (or the next 3 nights until it gets here!)
I still have to get some lenses, looks like it’s gonna be a sleepless week!
