The Pros and Cons of Photographic Equipment.

I just got a new camera. It's pretty nice (a Canon 550D for anyone interested) and as I've been wanting a DSLR for a while I'm very happy with it. The best part about it is that it's got a full 1080p video mode too, so I can shoot high quality movies. The problem, however, is I have the same lack of inspiration with photography/film making as I do with writing. I really don't know what to do to break myself out of this funk and get into a more positive and creative frame of mind. As depressing as it is for me to say this, I think my lack of funds is what is really restricting me. No money means I can't go out and do things I want to, and more frustratingly it means I can't afford to learn to drive either which, me being 18, is long overdue.

So to tide me over until I get some cash in my bank I'll just believe in the words of the immortal Scarface: 'In this country you've gotta make the money. Then when you've got the money, you get the power. Then when you've got the power, then you get the women.'
