In yet another delay of my Gaming PC Project, I’ve decided to take up photography about 3 months ago. I went the Nikon route and I have no regrets so far. I’m pretty sure I’ve spent more than I originally expected so here I have an itemized breakdown of expenses for my new expensive hobby.
This is the first time I’m going to calculate how much I’ve spent so far, and I’m going to let it sink in so I can set aside some quiet time and reflect on how splurging is bad. Bad Carlo, baaad.

I was leaning towards the hobby myself a few months ago. But I wasn’t sure if I was gonna go through it. Sayang naman pag bumili ako ng DSLR tapos hindi ko rin gagamitin. So I bought a guitar amp, instead.

I looked at your Flickr account. Sulit. I especially like the shot of the girl in the garden.

Thanks. I’m updating this post later because I’m not using a D40 anymore, I sold it and bought a D80 and I’ve racked up the running total by several thousands lol.
