Photograhy is hard. Well, good photography is hard.

I was so hopefull, my eyes shining with delight when I happned upon a used Minolta at good will. It was cheap too, and without and major damages. Imagine my joy.

I have never tried my hand at the photographic arts exept for some 'crazy' snapshots of my 'crazy' friends. But I was optomistic. 'It can't be that hard!' I said with a gleam in my eye and determination in my step.

Then I leaned.

It can be that hard. It is that hard. The minolta is all manual and I don't know what the hell an apurture is or why it even matters. And for those who know less than I do about photography...it matters.

Everything matters with a manual.



p.s. I've elected not to post my photographic misadventures on deviant because yes, they are that bad.

Because he's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now... so we'll hunt him... because he can take it ... because he's not a hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Dark Knight.

DEVIANTART! Nowhere will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villany...we must be cautious.

Maybe all men got one big soul that everyone's a part of. All faces are the same man....one big self.
