Hideeho...

My Mech Eng TAFE course is really starting to irritate me. Tuesday consists of 13 hours containing 3 dead boring classes, the last being 4 hours of calculus, going from 5:30 to 9:30 pm. I'll be extremely stoked when this is all over.

My gorgeous girlfriend Tess recently did some modeling for a friend of hers who goes to the Photographic Studies College in Southbank (the photos look incredible), and I fear the students there gave me the bug. I was fortunate enough to use a Canon 1DsMkIII (a ~AU$11,000 camera body) which belongs to another student who was there at the time. F*** me, that is a phenomenal camera. I won't own a body of its caliber for a long time to come yet, but i am looking forward to the sliver of a chance that I might.

But maybe, when I get into the uni course, with its shorter hours, I could do a part time course at some photo college. I don't know why, but I really want to be involved in it now.

My dear 70-200mm f/4L IS took a bit of a tumble, and one of its body barrels was fractured, leaving the lens mount hanging on by wires. It'll cost me up to $400 to get it fixed. It's well worth it. That lens is amazing. Lesson learnt; KEEP YOUR LENSES AND CAMERA BODIES IN BAGS! You loose the aesthetic appeal, but the photos you take with the lenses are more important than showcasing them.

Time to sleep; School starts in 9 hours. I'll be back home in 22 hours, though...

Cheers,

Lee
