Moved

0 min read
Hey everybody! Just my annual update here, I just finished moving up about 500 miles Northwest of where I used to live (Detroit) to Marquette Michigan. Its quite the transition switching from a metro area of about 4 million people to a town of about 20,000 but I think I'm gonna like it. I Moved up here for school but its a really beautiful area right on the Southern shore of Lake Superior, it's also a hilly, almost mountainous area which coming from flat, Southern Michigan is cause for excitement with me haha. Anyways hopefully this new setting will lead to more regular work from me if I can find the time to get out every now and then.

Finally

0 min read
So a good 6 months after i had planned on it i finally broke down and bought a D40 today. My graduation money ended up being eaten up by car repairs and my funds have been too tight to swing a camera until now. As you might expect i am really excited to experiment around with it some and having to wait so long to finally get it makes things even worse. Having only used a simple point and shoot camera before I'm completely overwhelmed by all the different settings and modes on this and i expect it will take quite some time to really get the feel for it. I know I'm planning on heading up into northern Michigan sometime within the next few weeks

Camera Advice

0 min read
Well I'm graduating from high school in a week and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to spend some of my graduation money on a camera. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a new one so i started looking around on craigslist. I've found a couple Nikon D40 Digital SLR's on there for around 350 USD and i was wondering if anyone's heard anything good or bad about them? or if anyone has any suggestions on a different camera that's close to that price I'd be open to other options. Thanks, Ben

Welcome to Beautiful Wilderness :iconbeautiful-wilderness:

It's a great pleasure to have you with us! :floating:
Thanks! Happy to be there!
Hi, I am Teddy. Once you read this you
cannot get out. Finish reading this
until it is done! As I said, I am
Teddy. I am 7 years old. I have no eyes
and blood all over my face. I am dead.
If you don't send this to at least 12
people I will come to your house at
midnight and I'll hide under your bed.
When you're asleep, I'll kill you.
Don't believe me?"no"
Case 1:
Patty Buckles
Got this e-mail. She doesn't believe
in chain letters. Well, Foolish Patty.
She was sleeping when her TV started
flickering on and off. Now she's not
with us anymore. Ha ha patty, Ha ha!
You don't want to be like Patty, do
you?
Case 2:
George M. Simon
Hates chain mail, but he didn't want
to die that night. He sent it to 4
people. Not good enough George. Now,
George is in a coma, we don't know if
he'll ever wake up. Ha ha George, Ha
ha! Now, do you want to be like George?
Case 3:
Valarie Tyler
She got this letter. Another chain
letter she thought. Only had 7 people
to
send to. Well, That night when she was
having a shower she saw bloody Mary
in the mirror. It was the BIGGEST
fright of her life. Valarie is scarred
for
life.
Case 4:
Derek Minse
This is the final case I'll tell you
about. Well, Derek was a smart person.
He sent it to 12 people. Later that
day, he found a $100.00 bill on the
ground. He was premoted to head
officer at his job and his girlfriend
said
yes to his purposal. Now, Katie and
him are living happily ever after.The
have 2 beautiful children.
Send this to at least 12 people or
you'll face the consequences.
0 people- You will die tonight
1-6 people- you will be injured
7-11 people- you will get the biggest
fright of your life
12 and over- you are safe and will
have good fortune
