My computer died last week, so I have been working off my laptop… not, much of an excuse for staying away from blogging but it just doesn’t flow as well when I am not in my normal space…Luckily, my computer had been behaving weirdly, so everything had been backed up and was safe. I just got it back yesterday and it was a breeze to get it back up and running which was great… my system is much more stable and I even had a little upgrade which makes things run a lot more smoothly.

On the subject of things getting fixed… I hadn’t mentioned it, but just before I left for my trip, my favourite lens (Pentax 50mm 1.4) broke and I had to send it away to get it repaired. Of course it had to happen just before I left so I was stuck with just my zoom lens while in BC. The zoom lens is a great lens but not indoors. Indoors, if you want to be without flash and still get good pics, you need a good fast lens which of course the 50mm 1.4 is, so though I missed it like crazy and I am very happy to have my little 50 back, I do realize that the time without it made me a lot more comfortable with my other lens which is great in many circumstances, which of course is a good thing…

It always feels good to find the good in in things that may set you back for a while…
