I've never been a frequent journal entry-writer, but I'm too excited right now...and anyway, this actually relates to my art, so I'll make an exception.

Because there's an awesome new toy (new to me, anyway) sitting on my bed.

And that awesome new toy just so happens to be an SLR film camera.

Tai, a good friend of mine from the office where I work, brought it over on Monday and asked if I wanted. He's been selling a bunch of stuff since he's in the process of a sticky move, so I assumed he wanted me to buy it. Nope. He just gave me the damn thing.

So I went out today and bought four rolls of film (I suspect this is going to take a bit of practice...it's been ages since I've done any film photography)...hopefully I'll have time to take it out before the weekend, although I'm swamped at the office, so it might be a bit before I get a chance to try it.

That'll give me a chance to look through the manual though (he's such a dork...it's an older model; Canon EOS Rebel G...who names these things? Anyway, he still had the manual on hand and gave it to me along with the camera and 35-80mm lens).

So hopefully I'll have some actual film shots up here soon!
