Sadly, I shall be waiting on my bonus in January to *hopefully* fund the purchase of a new D-SLR to truly get back into photography.

I recently gave up one hobby, and I'm itching to get back into this one!

Plan on getting a Nikon D-50 with a couple of lenses to start - then grab a remote, flash, some backdrops, etc. Already have the space in the home-office planned for a in-house still-life studio.

My slow season has been the last 2 years...

generally, though, I can always find something of interest to capture - when things are boring or so-so to look at, I just start on macro stuff - it's a whole other world.
