Also, I've made a few purchases lately:

* A Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor ED-IF lens.
* A Gitzo G1228 tripod with a Markins M10 ballhead.  For the QR plates, I've picked up the Kirk Photo PZ-92 and the LP-45.  Wee!  I can't wait for a decent tripod, finally. ]]> http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/Giving-but-No-Taking-243583250 http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/Giving-but-No-Taking-243583250 Thu, 29 Apr 2004 11:51:41 PDT Giving, but No Taking. nonadult journals/personal minainerz http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/i/minainerz.gif Copyright 2004-2013 ~minainerz
The bad news first.  I managed to take an amazing picture of the reflection of a clock tower off of a downtown building that was almost entirely glass.  However, just as I was wrapping it up, a security guard came out and asked me what I was doing.  I explained, and although he agreed that it was a cool picture, I could not keep them.  Apparently, the building was a federal building, and a bunch of people were freaked out about somebody taking a picture of it.  Never mind that I was standing out in the middle of the plaza, and not sneaking around.  Never mind that if I really wanted to t ]]> http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/Suburban-Nightmare-243588701 http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/Suburban-Nightmare-243588701 Sun, 11 Apr 2004 15:12:06 PDT Suburban Nightmare nonadult journals/personal minainerz http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/i/minainerz.gif Copyright 2004-2013 ~minainerz

Like most places on the internet, it was no surprise to me that the majority of the active participants are hormone addled males.  A quick browse searching for popular photographs of the day says everything there is to say, really.  Truly, the amount of really bad erotic photography on deviantART is astounding (possibly not safe for work).  And yet, it is praised beyond all other styles of photography.

Grumble, grumble. ]]> http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/The-Power-of-Breasts-243590491 http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/The-Power-of-Breasts-243590491 Tue, 06 Apr 2004 11:40:11 PDT The Power of Breasts nonadult journals/personal minainerz http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/i/minainerz.gif Copyright 2004-2013 ~minainerz
* I can't take a picture of a child without its parents nearby, since they get worried that I'm some sort of child abductor.
* If I take a picture of a girl, I have to tell them first, or else I look like some kind of lecherous freak.
* Guys walk up to me and brag about their camera equipment.  I don't want to hear about it; I think they'd just ignore a female.  Guys tend not to go up to girls and brag about their shit because they know they don't care.

So girls, be thankful for your endowments. ]]> http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/The-fun-part-247158627 http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/The-fun-part-247158627 Sun, 04 Apr 2004 20:55:52 PDT The fun part. nonadult journals/personal minainerz http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/i/minainerz.gif Copyright 2004-2013 ~minainerz
Update: She sent me an email saying that she likes it very much, and that it's adorable.  Making people happy like this makes me think that photography could very well be the best hobby ever.  :) ]]> http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/Giving-photography-a-try-247155709 http://minainerz.deviantart.com/journal/Giving-photography-a-try-247155709 Fri, 02 Apr 2004 22:13:54 PST Giving photography a try... nonadult journals/personal minainerz http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/i/minainerz.gif Copyright 2004-2013 ~minainerz
My equipment:
- Nikon D70
- Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5
- Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
- Nikkon 70-210 f/4.0 (circa 1986 - used)
- Accessories (UV filters, step-up rings, and a circular polarizing filter).

I've also picked up a few books on both technique and artistry ("Learning to See Creatively" by Bryan Peterson and "The Joy of Photography" by Kodak being two of the better ones).  I'm not sure what I want to do - right now I'm trying all sorts of different things.  By far, the harde ]]>
