I FINALLY bought an SLR camera- the Nikon D40. On
ebay I was able to get it very cheap, with many perks such as free prints, a warranty, and a year subscription to a photo magazine. The seller was cametacameras, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in buying an SLR camera, lens, or accessories.
After ordering the camera, I found myself constantly checking out
flickr for tips and examples of great photos. I found the group called
100 Strangers, and I decided to try it out after having my camera. The photo here is of my first stranger who I approached in the nearby Doho Park. If you like it, then please check out my other photos on
www.flickr.com/ckubber which will soon hopefully have many more.
