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!"
