Da DaDaDa… D50!!!
Hi Boys n’ Babes,
On a rainy Saturday afternoon, my friend Joe and I (pictured below) went downtown to look for tripods and to check out video cameras. We also wanted to go to Jagalchi Fish Market (where I once ate poisonous fish… see past blog entry) to take some rainy day pictures. My Pentax film camera started bugging out as soon as we arrived, and in frustration, I went and bought a digital SLR: the Nikon D50. This picture was taken in the store, by the store owner, and doesn’t even come close to capturing my actual excitement at the time.
And here are the first few shots fired by my shiny new investment…
Finally, a photo of the infamous pigs’ heads. From my understanding, they aren’t sold for food but to place at the front door of newly opened restaurants for good luck and prosperity.

Ok. These skinned eels were alive and kicking when I took the shot. Totally Clive Barker. Disgusting!

These pictures are nothing special, but the camera most certainly is. No more rolls of film. No more development fees. No more planning every shot like some sacred thing. Now I can shoot everything. Pkoo. Pkoo. Watch for more soon!

Anyounghee kaseyo,

PS I haven’t drank in 3 weeks and I feel… ok.
