Stick and Ink

I'm trying to learn how to write with ink. I'm left handed and haven't done any handwriting longer than a grocery list for years.

BDO poster; in red.

I re-did my big day out poster because it was frankly pretty average. I like this one much better.

Lenses

My girlfriend has a wonderful smile.

So, I need to decide between the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 and the EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6. the former is over twice the price of the latter, at $1,300 (lowest possible price). That's considerably more than the cost of the camera it's going to be used for.

Lenses are more of an investment than cameras, or so the story goes, but given this lens is only useable on cropped Canons... less so. Of course, the $500 dollar lens has its' flaws, but it is quite a cut above the starter kit. As this is meant to be a starter SLR, the 'reasonable' choice would be the EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6. It remains to be seen if I will be reasonable.

I can't wait to do some serious shootin'. Too much of my work has focussed on using vectors because you can do it in front of a computer and see the results straight away.

Robots!

I'm calling him Robo-Boy. He calls himself Roy. His arms, legs and head will fold neatly into the body, which is about the size of a tin lunchbox and has much the same functionality. the detacheable parts stick to the body via magnets.
