As is my usual M.O., I've taken up a "new" hobby of birding/hiking/nature photography over the past few months.

Before, I owned a Canon point and shoot, which is good, but not suitable for photographing birds and so forth.

Over Christmas break, I was at home when I dropped my camera and broke the lens. My dad gave me his old camera, which was ...

I can't decide if that's a good thing. This is the first time I've felt genuine depression in a while. I'm telling myself that its a good thing because I'm in touch with my emotions instead of being the little robot that I've been.

Since the changeover from the old Journal system, I'm not really sure who is reading this or where (or if) it shows up on the news feed.
