A Fateful Decision

Fri Jan 2, 2009, 8:47 PM
Well, it's been about four months now since I've been working for Nikon/Stream Global as a support professional for the Coolpix digital cameras (soon DSLR also) and it's been great. I even won 2nd place in a contest they held little over a month ago x).

Now, working with all those cameras and being able to borrow some of them for assignments, the contest and for work itself, has made me very enthusiastic about photography. Now I'm faced with the decision of acquiring a DLSR body and lens or a pro level tablet.

I'm not a professional photographer nor am I a professional graphic designer. I make some money from time to time as a designer and I go to art school to study that; and I have a full time job as tech support for cameras. So this new year I made up my mind on pursuing one of these professions in a more serious way.

Though I am known to be ambitious and most likely go both ways! But time will tell, my budget is set for one of the two in the next 2 months. Perhaps the decision is what to get first. The Nikon D40 with an 18-55mm lens or the Wacom Intuos tablet.

Also in the next few months I'll be moving out from my parents' house and share an apartment with my best friend. That means more space and more freedom to work, without distractions and bothersome siblings (which I love but can be very annoying at times:/). So I'll be dedicating more time to my projects. Again, I'm a very ambitious man and most likely find a way of doing all that all together and very soon.

I'll be seeing you.
