I’ve been wanting to get a DSLR for a few months now and when I make up mind on what I want, I must have it. I did my due diligence before buying it, though, as my OCD kicks in and I can’t just make an impulsive purchase. Considering I’m new to this photography biz, I was open to choosing between a Nikon D40 and Nikon D3000. However, I liked the D3000 more in the end.
Read my review on Yelp for Samy’s Camera for more details about my purchase. 
I love my camera!
D and I went to Larchmont afterwards for a light repast of wraps and smoothies. We sat around and he taught me how to use my camera! Considering he is a photographer on the side, he really knows his stuff. He’s also a wonderful, patient teacher! We took a few photos there but I don’t want to clutter this page with any more photos than I have to post up (and these are all so big!).
We decided to go to The Grove to watch How To Train A Dragon in 3D. This movie is funny, exciting, and extremely cute. I’m generally not a fan of those 3D glasses because wearing them gives me a headache (Avatar) but because I was so into the movie, I felt fine. I really recommend this to people of all ages! I think D liked it as well. Next movie up is Kick-Ass!
After the movie ended, we decided to walk around a bit although all of the stores were closed. I took a few photos of our surroundings. Click for a few photos!
