For those of you who like reading about travels--past, present, and future--to far-off places, and for those of you who like music while you're travelling, I've started up a brand-new blog. I am now into my 4th week of writing it, and there's no end in sight to the material I have available from memory for it, which is a good thing.

I just received a lens adapter in the mail today. This means I can now use all of my old manual-focus FD lenses on my recently-purchased Digital Rebel XS. Only, there's one problem... and it leads to a whole STORM of other problems tied in with it. It means that I now have to shoot in Aperture-Priority (A/Av mode), or even Manual mode. When I was shooting in film, I learned on a Canon AE-1. Shutter-priority (Tv) mode, in today's terms. Needless to say, this is a rude awakening for me, as I never liked messing with my f-stops unless I was setting up for a subject that ABSOLUELY needed them (like fireworks). And knowing that aperture is al
