1. My brand spankin' new camera - Nothing super fancy. I'm not a professional photographer or anything. But it sure beats the old camera phone. I'm still playing around with it, exploring its features, but I can already tell we're gonna be besties!
2. My brand spankin' new tripod - Together with my new camera's self-timer, this frees me up from waiting for my husband to get home to take pics. He loves not having to take pictures, and I love not having to hear him groan about taking pictures. Win-win!
3. My $5 thrifted blazer - Teal is one of my favorite colors, and there's something about corduroy that's makes me feel very... collegiate. I should be sitting under a tree reading Emily Bronte, no? In fact, I'm considering adding leather elbow patches. And those so-ugly-they're-cute fake leather buttons? Yeah, I totally love to hate those, but the blazer just wouldn't have the same feel without them.
I vote of leather elbow patches! I am thinking a design stamped on them in teal ink/paint to add pattern to the blazer.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a cool idea!
DeleteNice score! My husband feels the same way about taking pictures of me. Maybe that's why I haven't posted in a while :). A tripod is definitely a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI cannot recommend it strongly enough. I spent a good 30 minutes outside yesterday playing with it while the Dude was inside playing video games. And if you already have a camera, you can find a tripod on Amazon for $20-30. Happy spouses make for happy marriages. :)
DeleteCongrats, what kind did you decide on?
ReplyDeleteBlazer looks good as is, but I do fancy your idea of elbow patches.
We used our credit card points to get the camera - a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS - and then I got this tripod on Amazon, only I got it for $20 from another vendor.
