Flickr is a fantastic source of inspiration! For those of you who have listed this as your goal, I highly encourage you to get an account there. I’ve learned a lot from my little point and shoot, and also benefited from photo editing programs such as GIMP (downloadable) and picnik.com. I recently got a Nikon D50, and I’m loving it! Now I’m checking out lenses…and really leaning towards a 50mm f1.4. Of course, I’m still improving every day, and I’ve got plenty to learn! But I’m putting this goal down as “accomplished”. ;-)

I went to see The Seafarer over Christmas. I had already seen it at the National Theater in London, and it had two of the same people who were in it then, both of whom are brilliant, Jim Norton, and Conleth Hill. It also had David Morse playing Sharky, and he was brilliant as well. I could see this play over and over again.

And of course it’s best to ride on the top level, and even better when you’re in Professor Duckworth’s class and going to a museum.
