I have not written in a journal properly for some time now. I suppose it is because I have just been lazy about it. But do I want to admit that in a public forum? Probably not? So I will have to get out a paper journal and write it down there.
We are meant to be filing paperwork for visas, but we have just been so tired lately that it has been impossible to fill it out and check for accuracy on these important documents. On Monday, for example, Kiry had a bad belly and yelled for seven hours or so straight. I could tell it was nothing serious, but as it turns out, she is a bit of a wimp. She puked up in the afternoon and that was the end of the yelling. But it left my nerves in a bit of tatters.
Every moment I have had free for the last week I have had my camera in my hand. It has a new lens on it and I have not been this excited about photography for years. It is a Nikon 50mm f/1.8. That 1.8 means everything on this baby! I can get such shallow depth of field and shoot indoors in very low existing light. I have been so stunned by this lens (for only £119) that I am now seriously considering another prime. It is too much to get a telephoto. But a few primes can add up to what I need and get me a great start on portraits and maybe a wedding or two. I need money from this so I can afford the good lenses in telephoto.
