Little did I know that creating a vision board would end up just giving me the courage to go out and get what I want.   The day I wrote that post, I struggled, questioned, weighed pros & cons and basically just obsessed. 

Finally I said "screw it" and with a ton of encouragement from the fella,  I walked my butt to B&H and finally got myself that "big girl camera" I've been dreaming of.  The Nikon D90. 

Normally when I purchase anything of substantial value, I suffer from insane buyers remorse, even if I need it.    This is the first time I can remember not feeling a single pang of guilt.   It was meant to be. 

So here is one of my first shots with the new toy and a renewed love for photography. 

And big thanks to my godfather Don Hamerman for helping me make the right choice.  You really should go check out his stuff.  He's been at this a lot longer than I have.
