Purchases I Shouldn't Really Have Made

Today I sinned. I went out and spent money on photography gear.
Yes, I have been thinking about this particular gear for a long time.
Yes, I have been managing ok without it all that time.
Sometimes, though (you know what it's like) you set out knowing right from the start that you are going to DO IT. You are going to have a radical retail moment.
And I did it. Today.

Thoughts on Social Networking

I've recently been dipping a toe into the Twitter & Facebook universes, and I find both have strengths & weaknesses. Like everything else I guess. Part of the trouble is learning how to use them to the best. But it seems to me that I get far more from reading blogs than I ever do from reading Facebook or Twitter (if you can really say you read Twitter). In fact, the most useful element of Facebook has been links to other sites with interesting blogs or articles. So I thought I'd blog for a bit, & see if anyone notices. Maybe not, but let's give it a whirl.

Not promising to stick to photography stuff though.

In fact, I suspect that a lot will be relating to books, because books are what pay the bills. They are my 'real' job. And they let me keep photography as an enthusiasm, without having to worry about my pictures having to make ends meet.
