i treated myself to a bit of a treat for the trip. i finally own a good camera. i purchased a nikon d50 digital SLR. it is really amazing and i am already excited about learning how to use it to take real photographs instead of just taking pictures.
in preperation for the number of pictures that i am going to take on the trip, and my laziness for updating photos on the webpage, i found a cool little program called JAlbum that is a little java application for creating photo galleries. i used to to update the seattle 1999 photos that were on the site before i updated. i plan to go back through and update the other pages when i get back, but i will be updating the site with photos while i am on the trip, or at least that is the plan.
and that is all there is to say about all of that.
