Once again, I am traveling for work, so taking pics will be a challenge this week. I have a couple of extra pics saved that I will try to schedule. So, in lieu of an outfit post today, I thought I would share a picture of my new toy.
Even though my blog is still a newborn, I have high hopes that it will last awhile. Sooo, I have been on the hunt for an ah-mazing deal on an SLR camera. Neither I nor my picture-taking buddy JD are professional photographers, but I firmly believe in having the right tools for the job. Plus, I am a little OCD so whenever I try something new, I get obsessed with accessories and go all out buying them. (Remind me to tell you about the ONE time I tried to play bball and bought tons of gear.) I am also a firm believer in sales, bargains, on tha cheap, clearance, etc. So enter, my search through most of the pawn shops in Greensboro for a camera. I briefly thought about buying a new one, but again since we are not pros, I didn't want to pay a pro price. I found this little guy, with the box, instructions, 2 lenses & all of the cords for about 50% less than the lowest sale price around! Now I can't promise the pics will miraculously become amazing, but hey, at least JD and I will look good shooting them.
I have to say, even though I still don't really know how to use most of the features, it does take great pics!

Do any of you shop @ pawn shops? Aren't they just another form of thrifting?
Happy Tuesday!
