The difference between men and boys…
Yeah, I did it.
This is my new camera, the full frame, 35mm digital Canon EOS 5D, with a EF24-105mm F4L IS USM zoom lens with image stabilization.
This camera was so expensive, it costs nine months’ worth of my food budget. This camera was so expensive, I could have bought two of my first car (1987 Dodge Charger) with the money I spent on it. This camera was so expensive, I had to get written consent from the World Bank so that the currency that changed hands today would not disrupt the global economy. This camera was so expensive, after I bought it A-Rod called me and said thanks because now the media would have some other astronomical investment to criticize the rationality of. This camera is so expensive, my first three children will be legally owned by Canon Incorporated of Japan and named IXY, CanonScan, and Bubble Jet.
Suffice it to say that aside from college, this is the most expensive thing I’ve ever put money into.
Yes, well, I don’t know what else to write. Here’s a picture I took on the way home. If you feel like something’s missing, it’s the complete lack of CCD noise in the smooth-toned 4368×2912 exposure.
Clicking the above image is not for the faint of heart. It leads to a 2.8mb JPEG.
