Photography Actually...

I know, I know. Its been a long time since I posted anything. I could probably blame my work schedule for that. But to tell the truth I have not been doing much in the last couple of weeks. But then I got caught up in creating websites... That is right. Yours truly have been creating websites (More of web pages actually...), thanks to google. Google has a little known service called googlepages . It is one of their google labs products. Apparently anyone with a google account can create up to three webpages. I say 'apparently' because it has never shown up in my google apps or services anywhere when i sign into my google account. But the undeniable fact, is that it exists. And so... I have created two webpages in google. One is, a rather selfishly titled one . And the other is a webpage on digital photography. Now you might be wondering, 'This guy! And photography! Oh, he is so talented!'. Whoa, Slow Down, Slow Down!!! I am not much of a digital photographer. Of course I own a camera, and i know which button to push to get the picture (hmphhh... got the picture? hehehe.. pun intended...). But then around four weeks back, the photography bug bit me (metaphorically I mean, not an actual physical photography bug... hmm... Are there photography bugs?... Argghh.. Anywayyyy...). And I get this sudden inspiration for photography. I look around and find that, voila, my camera is broken. Now any other person would take it as a sign that the camera committed harakiri, rather than get itself sullied in my hands. But, NO! Not me! I consider it as a sign, to move on to a better camera, one that will appeal to the artistic side in me, and, of course, one that doesn't feel like i am holding a credit card rather than camera and is built on sturdier material. Anyway, finally after much searching I found this NIKON D40 camera, on Amazon, which kinda called out to the inner photographer in me! (Noooo... It didn't scream 'Help!HELP!'). So currently I am a proud owner of one such (hapless?) specimen. You would probably see the results of my digital err... ah... ART... in a few days on this very site. Alright then, it is time that I go and polish up my photographing skills... Ciao!!!! (Camera yells.. 'Help!' in the background... indistinctly... finally dying out in a whimper...)
