I consider myself a middle-of-the-road-gadget-upgrader. I don’t rush out to buy the newest technology, but I also don’t hold on to things as long as some people do. I get all kinds of excited about new gadgets, but its only after I’ve weighed the need and the price points. This week, however, I’m getting to upgrade in more than one location.

• New lens filters – I know its fairly minor to most photographers, but I finally got myself two new sets of filters for my lens. I’m pretty darn excited about it! Started playing with them a little bit last night, but I probably won’t give them a good workout before the weekend. Baby steps in the photography world. Baby steps.
• New laptop – Its on its way, and it should be here tomorrow. This laptop I am on… its well loved. I got it in 2007. Many of the letters have been rubbed off and the A, S, D, E, N and space bar all have dents in them from my typing!

  I get constant “Not responding” warnings all over the board these days, and I can’t run Photoshop and any other program at the same time. Frustrating much? Yup. Ending soon? YESSSSS.

I look forward to upgrading cell phones later this year (if we can afford it, lol!) since I’m pretty much over the “Low Disk Space” warnings our phones keep giving us. And I dream of having more lenses and flashes for my camera. But… those will come in time.

Excited about my new gadgets this week! Wheee!! Be prepared for photo evidence in the days to come.
