So my Pentax K-X is a perfectly fine beginner DSLR camera...and mine is red! But as much as I liked my red beginner DSL I felt like I needed something with some advanced features. So I got myself a Canon T2I -- 18.2 megapixels, shooting capability in "the RAW" (still not sure what that means yet except that it will be better to manipulate in Photoshop), and a bunch of other features that I'm still working through. Photography is an expensive habit! I could take a second mortgage out just on the lenses that I want!
But in addition to my new camera, I also invested in Lens called the Lensbaby. This is a very cool lens kit that "bends" the image providing a lovely sweet spot of focus and feathers out the rest of the image. There are multiple optics you can add to your Lensbaby. I bought the "Composer" and several optics and special effects. Check out their website and gallery for some very cool examples in their Gallery
Lensbaby.

But as I struggle with the new equipment, I also struggle with photography as an art form. I've always like to take unusual angles of things...more interested in the composition of a picture than documenting an event. But what makes my shot better than someone else's? I mean, if I get a great picture is it because of my artistic insight or is it because I have a great camera? I struggle with this...
So here are some photos that are what I call my Seinfeld Series -- pictures about nothing...but I like them! What do you think?
