I'm convinced that the days between pressing "place order" and the package arriving on your doorstep are the longest days ever. It's always a test in my patience, hah! In the middle of a piano lesson, my sister and I heard the rumble of a truck, looked out the window, and screamed simultaneously. The doorbell rang and there was a pretty box on my front step, containing an even prettier nikon d90. This camera is phenomenal, guys...and is there anything better than that snap happy new camera feeling? I think not.
Adding to my things to be happy about list...
sipping coffee on a thunderstorm-y afternoon | brainstorming for new projects | a blank page and a pencil | chocolate haupia pie | pulling weeds in the garden | chats with friends over caramel mochas | freshly painted nails | sharing a bed with little sisters | muscles sore from working out | group skype calls with best friends | late nights at the movies | writing poetry in the sun | new cameras
What are some things on your happy list?

Wow! Congrats with a new camera. That's always such a big thing. That must feel so great. Can't wait to see more photos :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Getting a new camera is one of the best feelings ever. ;)
ReplyDeleteeeek! new cameras! so exciting. you used to use a D3100 right? how come you swapped over?
ReplyDeleteI previously shot on a d3000, actually. I upgraded just because the d90, simply put, is a superior camera. it's faster, clearer, and more suited to the work I'm doing than the entry level d3000.
Deleteooo, congrats on the new camera! and yes, that wait time is long. right now i'm reeaally happy about unexpected messages from friends // sunshine // digging in the garden // chocolate cake with whipped cream // music, point finale // and paris. and oh my goodness how those roses are gorgeous. beeeautiful pictures girl.
ReplyDeleteOh Carlotta. Your photos are the most beautiful, delicate, simply lovely things ever. I kid you not. Keep at it, lady.

ReplyDeleteI just got my new camera in the mail too. That poor UPS guy must have been afraid of me from chasing him to the door so many times. Hehe. Theres something SO amazing about the new camera feeling. I'm so trigger happy.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so amazing! Where do you live? You seem to have so many wonderful places to shoot pictures...do you drive to places or is it just where you live?
thanks! I live in northeastern oklahoma. these shots were all taken around my house. I don't usually go anywhere just for the sake of taking photos, but I bring my camera along whenever we go somewhere.
DeleteGorgeous photos! and congrats on your upgrade! :D
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, and I love your list of happy things. They make me happy as well lovely. <3

Yay! I LOVE the D80 ( which the D90 replaced ) so I'm sure it's equally amazing.
ReplyDeleteDid you buy new?
Where do you like to buy your camera gear?
Just curious.

I bought it refurbished, actually...almost all my equipment is. it's so much cheaper and you wouldn't notice a difference between a refurb and new. and I purchase all my gear from either amazon, b&h photo, or adorama. :)
DeleteCongrats on your new camera! --so exciting to get boxes with "those" contents. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures!
I had a dream last night that I came to visit you but you lived in a tiny village on the outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new camera! the d90 is so attractive...can't wait to see more of what you do with it!
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous and dreamy photos. love it! so glad i found your blog
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new camera! Wonderful photos, I love the rose ones. I have a love-hate relationship with the process of placing your order, waiting for it to come (don't those few days seem endless?) and then the immense excitement upon receiving it. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Carlotta! These are amazing! Congrats on your new camera! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a Canon 7D later this year. So excited!
