In 14 days I will be back in school. That's TWO WEEKS. Not only that, but SENIOR YEAR of high school. Where did time go?

Anyway, I finally bought my Nikon D90 + 18-105mm lens kit. $1139 exactly at B&H Photo ( [link] , Great place to buy cameras) with NO TAX (unless you live in New York). It arrived on time with no problems, and I'm still trying to figure out how to use all of the settings. I hooked up my dad's old Quantaray Q15 manual hotshoe flash, and hopefully I can make use of it, even without proper metering. I also picked up a Velbon CX-570 tripod at Fry's Electronics for $39.99. It works pretty well and for that price, it's a great value.

Here's to an awesome year!
