B Cam-Er-Ra

I have numerous cameras lying around. When I was at Northwest School of the Arts I decided to try my hand at photography, I knew I was good at drawing, but photography was a whole new playing field for me. My dad bought me a Minolta Maxxum "SLR" about 7 or 8 years ago, and when I met Chad I was still carrying that old thing around. I had never been to Charleston before and my family had gone without me when I was in nursing school. So about three years ago my parents planned a trip for my 20th birthday to Charleston. Chad thought it was perfect timing for me to upgrade to a more modern "digital" camera. So he bought me one for our Charleston trip. Now I have been carrying them both around. My digital camera is a rather expensive pocket Olympus camera with all of the bells a whistles, and I always revert back to my Minolta SLR film camera. Who cares? I know it costs money for film and such but it takes phenomenal pictures.

Chad keeps up with Moto GP motorcycle racing and there is an italian racer named Valentino Rossi and he has loved him since the beginning of time. We have a documentary called "Faster" about motorcycle racing and they interviewed Valentino and he looked at the camera and said "B Cam-Er-Ra" with his italian accent. Ever since then Chad has called my digital camera the B-camera.

I am getting ready to transfer to UNCC, I start in August, yay! And I am going to be an Art major so we have decided to make an addition to my camera collection. We went to Wolf Camera; they have always been there for my photography needs. I cannot tell you how much money I have spent on photo paper for the dark room and film. I was kind of torn between a Nikon and a Canon but a friend of mine in my Photography class has a Nikon and there are wayyyyy to many settings; which really makes me take a look back at my Minolta and how simple it is. I don't think I want a Nikon, I could not figure it out. I wish I could just put a digital screen on my Minolta and call it digital. Technology is kind of irritating. I think I have narrowed it down to a Canon Rebel, for the money I think it is perfect and I feel like it is a little simpler compared to the Nikon D-40. My next obstacle is to get Wolf Camera to give me a tripod instead of a free printer. hmmmm?
