time goes, you say?

Time waits for no one.

That is exactly the reason why I cannot wait until my birthday to buy myself a camera. Sure I may have had Bubba last year and sure I may have said that I wanted the Canon Eos 60D, but fortunately enough, Canon released a new model on February 2011 which is a bit like the 60D but only cheaper and just as awesome. It's the Canon Eos 600D which I bought from amazon.co.uk.

So it was perfect timing that I was skype-ing with my friends when the delivery man had just buzzed my flat and I swiftly opened the door for him while grinning like a mad woman, waiting for him to hand me my goodies. I slashed the box open with my house keys and out came flying the brown papers and bubble wrap. 

Finally, after months of saving up, I have my 600D aka. Gaspard. This is the raw-est image of me about to unbox while causing a ruckus.

And now I'm hungry from all this excitement. Time to whip up some sandwich.

UPDATE: within the hour, I made some video test shots.
