I'm still dealing with the camera dilemma. Should I get it fixed, should I just get something else, should I just say fuck it and go back to film or even video. The video thing I must admit is really quite tempting, I mean I have to get a few other things in order first, but I really miss shooting, we used to have GL2's, nice SD cameras for the money. I mean now you pretty much have to go HD if you're going to shoot anything these days. Still I think I would miss photography to much to just give it up totally.
