New Beginning

Trevor Nedea - Nollie Tre Flip

I am back in the game with some new camera gear. As some of you may know, I switched from Canon, to Nikon. Anyways, the above image was the official first sequence shot with the new camera, as well as my first sequence ever shot. Still waiting on my insurance to come in from my old camera gear, which reminds me, I need to call that lady back!

Anyways, I'm hoping with this gear, it will allow me to do much more with my photography, since my old camera couldn't shoot 9 frames a second.

out of the bag

Well, I was trying to keep it a small deal, and hoping that not a lot of people would know, or at least find out..but now apparently, the entire Fanshawe Campus knows, all of my family knows, all of my parent's and brother's friends know, and all of my friends now know, so it's not really that quiet anymore.

Anyways, if you aren't in the loop, about 2 weeks ago, all of my camera gear was stolen. Yeah, not cool. The years of saving, and updating are now gone. I do, however, still have my plastic Holga with 1 roll of 120 film left. I also lost both of my laptops which had a shit load of school work on it.


Luckily, my gear is covered by my insurance, and so I'm simply waiting on the money so I can buy the gear again.

I was originally shooting with Canon, but with the cheque coming soon, I hope, I will be switching to Nikon. I'm hoping with this new gear, I can get back to some solid skateboard photography. Plus, with the new Camera, I'll be able to shoot sequences, which will make things a lot easier if I'm in a lazy mood. The change was not hard to do either due to some great advice from another photographer (Thanks a bunch Worona!) who I also think is very under-rated for his quality of work.

Even though by the time I get the gear, the weather will be shitty, it will give me time to get adjusted to Nikon, as well as some other toys I plan on getting. (It is impossible to find another Bronica SQ fisheye, and I can't afford a Hassy)

Yeah, new gear is on the way I hope though. As Big Black once said..."The Future is Lookin' Bright!"

The Joys of shopping

This is what my credit card will have to endure once I get the money. All my photo gear was jacked and I was lucky enough to be covered. This will only cover a portion of the gear I had stolen. Cool.
