Nicole Enjoli Blog

Sitting in the living room its 1:43 a.m., late even for me.  Not even my dogs are still here, usually at least Lima sticks around with me until I go to bed.  I don’t blame him- I’ve been starring at the computer reading a blog that is more like a book that you can’t put down.  I realized as I read that I should try to blog more often, even if there aren’t a series of photos to go with what I post about.   I should be asleep, I feel that I’m tired but I have terrible sleep habits and I get sucked into the world wide web. 

 Today was cool because I went out and bought the most affordable lens I could buy, the canon 50mm 1.8 II,  I read up on it and heard great things, that its a great bang for your buck, and I am all about that so I decided that I wouldn’t think about it anymore, I called Fullerton Cameras and they had them in stock.  Perfect, I drove down and just like that I bought my first lens, that didn’t come in my lens kit with my camera.  While I was at it… I bought this really cool little vintage camera that I dont know much about  other than it was probably used around the 50′s… It cost me $8.75 which was a steel in my head for a cool looking vintage camera, which reminds me of the post right before this one- about my addiction to buying “stuff”, but to me its more than stuff.  I think ahead:  I will see this camera years from now and remember it was the first in my awesome collection (shhhh dont tell Jason about this) and that I bought it that day when I bought that $100 lens because I wanted one so bad and it was the only one I could justify buying myself.  While I was in the store I asked myself the question I try to ask myself when I’m about to buy something that has no use…Do I need it? easy answer: NO but do I really like it, want it, am I gonna regret not buying it later? YES! So Yes won…. I’m over it, glad I got it… no regrets! So tomorrow I am shooting my little friend, Chantel- she was actually my flower girl in my wedding, sooooooooo cute you will see, I am gonna try out the new lens….

And here is a picture just because I dont want to ruin my streek of posting pictures so far… I took this with my p&s… made these turqoise earrings the other day… Im happy to say they found a new home… I wish I would have taken photos of all the pieces I’ve made since ’99…. goodnight
