My great aunt is an artist, she's always painted and taken an ass load of pictures. It's pretty much all she does as far as I know, and pretty much all her friends do. But she's recently gotten this hereditary eye disease that runs in my family and is going blind
I feel really bad for her because she can't even see well enough to do what she loves and she's only in her 70s. I talked to her on the phone today and she said that when my mom goes to see her next, she would give me two digital SLRs and a zoom lens that she bought and now can't use. One is a Nikon and one is a Sony, I don't know which that lens is for, or what the models are because I didn't ask. I feel so terrible about her eyes, especially because she lives on her own. But on the other hand, I am totally pumped for two new SLRs. It's a bitter sweet deal I would say.
So I have two new things on my agenda:
~ figure out which camera I'm going to bring on my trip to Trinidad and Tobago
~ buy a pair of sun glasses to protect these bad boys in my head and lower my changes of getting this shit ass disease.
Your eye balls are precious kiddies, remember that.
