I am so freaking excited.
After much research and deliberation, I finally decided to purchase a DSLR camera.
I had a DSLR several years ago when they first came out. When I was in college I did a ton of photography work using actual film before the whole photography world went digital. My parents had gotten a DSLR to use to document the building of their new house, and me being the only person who really knew how to use it made me the default owner of the camera. Unfortunately, the camera was stolen out of my parents home by the crew working there, and ever since I’ve been trying to make due with a point and shoot camera.
No matter which way you put it though, there’s no way to compare the two. I love being able to control where I have the lens focus, how much light is let into the lens, and all the other features of the DSLR. I’m so excited to start using the camera to not only document my outfits (I also picked up a proper tripod and remote shutter release to do so) but also just general day-to-day life, as well as more artistic projects.
I played around with the camera a bit today taking photos around the apartment, and of my little ham of a dog Portia. My point and shoot camera would make her look like this fuzzy black blob. Look at this face how adorable is this?




Though I went ahead and stocked up on accessories at the camera store, I’m really glad I decided to forgo purchasing a camera bag. After a quick search on the internet, I’ve found there are so many fashionable camera bags on the market nowadays! This one below is the one I have my eye on. Can you believe this sexy bag is not only a camera bag, but also vegan?
