Wish List

Here are three items that are HUGE on my wish list right now.

Olympus Evolt E-510 Camera

Canon PIXMA Pro9000 

Canon CanoScan® LiDE 600F

I really really really want them.  I'm thinking I really really really need them.  If I'm going to sell photos and get better at taking them, I need a really, really, really nice camera that is an SLR (shoots fast!) and a nicer printer than I currently have that is small in size but will print the larger photos (13x19).  

The scanner would be icing on the cake, so to speak, but would actually be great to have since it scans film negatives.  I have oodles of negatives but don't know where the pictures are.  I also like the way this scanner opens; my current scanner opens on the width but this one opens on the length.  Perfect for my desk set-up. 

The question is... how would I find time for a second or third job to pay for these?  Forget the G-Wiz fund (ohhh, did I really just stay that?)  I need a Photography fund; that shows how bad I want these things.  That and the fact that I keep the camera page open on my computer just so I can look at it.  Ooooo.

Ah the joys of cameras. I need something to bring me joy...as the Fish informed me of his...not so single status today.

I'll be crying a river today somewhere.

I hope you get them, Karen. :)

I'll do my part...I'm going over to see if you have coffee cups. I'm going to reward myself with one when Lent is over if you do. I want one my brother and sons will leave alone. I want one with a saying maybe like: I like my coffee like my men: STRONG!

Oh well. Here I go.

I LOVE my messenger bag that I got on Cafe Press. I'm using it for my business. I'm staring at it right now! :) I LOVE IT

Wow Karen those are awesome choices (checked that Willoughby's link).... Hope you get them some day sooner than later.
I think photography is a wonderful art form and you are definitely great at it.

Could you ask for any of it as a group birthday/Christmas gift? That's what I would do if I wanted it enough.

I'm longing for a better camera, partly so I can give Son 1 mine. Top of my wishlist though is a scanner that could scan in slides. My parents had a lot of their photos developed as slides when we were kids, and I'd like to be able to scan them onto dvds, possibly with captions and music. Otherwise they'll never get seen by my boys' generation.

I want a better camera and scanner too Karen! You know how I love taking pictures too. I really hope you get yours and I'm sure you will! Hugs!

Hi Karen, I'm Baaack, having just attended the two weddings and watched the pro's at work my observation would be that Nikon seems to be the popular choice here in Oz.
Hope you can swing the one you choose anyway.

LOL...I thought about upgrading my camera from my tired old Canon Sureshot 35mm; then again, why get a pricey digital that's going to get caught in a tornadic suck zone ;-)

March 26, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterSkunk
