The reality: I need to quit wasting my time on stupid dead-end jobs, finish my BSc at last, find a decent position to do an MSc in botany/plant ecology. This spring. Photography can wait.
The stupid, limitless gearhead dream:
- Nikon 9000ED scanner
- Mamiya 7 with 43, 80 and 150 or Fuji G690 with 50, 100 and 180
- 90mm tilt-shift, 15mm fisheye and 200/2.8L for the EOS system
- Nice planned trips where I could haul along all this fine gear
- A high-end NEC widescreen monitor
Most probable solution: a battered M4/-2/-P with a half-decent 35mm - just something to tide me over as I tunnel my way through evil mounds of office paperwork, scientific papers on phenotypic plasticity in plants and crappy instant coffee. :bang: :bang: :bang: Or I can blow my savings on CD-s and photobooks instead.
