Pamparo in Toronto

Although it is hard for me to admit, summer is officially gone. Not because it is past the 21st of September. I have proven it myself. Tonight, me & my wife went out to grab some sushi & sashimi. I’ve gotten used to going out wearing short-sleeve shirt & my favorite slippers. But not tonight. I had to wear my fleece sweatshirt, AGAIN …

Oh well, what can we do! I guess nothing but to enjoy it as much as we can. Hello Fall — show me all those beautiful leaves!

Photography has always fascinated me. So much so that I bought a fully-manual Nikon FM2N around 5 years ago. Now, I finally gave in to my temptation: Digital SLR. It seems all logical to me. Ever since I bought an Olympus C50Z point-and-shoot digital camera, I hardly use my SLR. I guess it was just the turn-around time to see what the pictures look like & how easy it is to share my photos on the net. Unfortunately, there are consequences. I can’t seem to get the best photos that I wanted with a small digicam. What’s the solution for me? Nikon D50. I am skeptical about the quality of a digital photo compared to a film. I still am. Well, for the convenience and for my own use, a DSLR is more than enough. Ok, Ok. You might say that I’ m justifying what I have. And that is true. This is the only way I can force myself to give up film for digital. I still have my beloved FM2N and I don’t have any plans of getting rid of it. But for now, I will enjoy myself shooting with my new Nikon D50!

Finally had a chance to upload photos from our 1000 Island trip last month which can be found here.
