My Ultimate Goal of 2011: Canon T3i

Rik1 Comment

Self Portrait III

I have made it official.  My ultimate goal of 2011 is to purchase the Canon T3i.  Though it may be not as powerful or great as the Canon 7D or the infamous Canon 5D Mark II, I am determined to get this mid-level camera.  I am a uber-fan of Canon, though i been telling myself to go the Nikon way as most people first pick mostly is a Canon, but I am still thinking about it.  Since I am leaving the realm of just full on photography and taking my well architect skills to a new height with videos and becoming a force to me reckoned with in multimedia and technology for New York.  The world should praise me as I work my hardest to get this camera.

Though it’s only $899.99 say at B&H Photo and Video or at Adorama, you still got to count in taxes, lenses, insurance (can’t go no where without that big boy), I am still looking at $1300 of the back basic.  With that, that’s really all I need for the skills don’t come with the camera, you bring your talents and skills to the camera and the works you produce.

So i am already on board with my first MAC purchase in March 2011, and my Pro Tools purchase of September 2010, I am just taking it step by step to be if not the number 1 Creative (all around) Multimedia Professional in New York, but one of the greatest in the long run.

Canon T3i (with the pull out screen) lol I am so coming for you.  The Canon T2i is also awesome, but I need a major upgrade from my Canon Rebel and taking my business to YouTube, Vimeo, iTunes, your Local Film Festival right into your living room subscription service such as Netflix or Amazon.

Richardo is on his way…now it’s time to work his butt off and gain more clients, produce more high quality projects and network the HELL OUT of the world.

I have 3 great projects debuting this summer, including a debut hip-hop album, a poetry and art book, and a DJ groove 3 track music record, oh yea not to mention hopefully short-film series based on my YouTube weekly series “The Real Life with Richardo”

Do you have an ultimate goal of 2011?  is there any awesome gadget coming out this year you are looking forward to getting?

I remember when I use to go outside

I remember the days I use to go outside, but now I just curl up inside and watch the rain pour and pour through my window on these lonely new york weather.  I want to go outside and remember what warmth feels like.  I want to go outside for a walk to the park and have a great conversation and can feel the sun shine on my cheeks as a I smile.  I want to go outside and ride a bike and feel the wind blow between my toes (sandals) and my hair.  I want to see the kiddies run around in joy to see their friends and be excited not to be trapped in the house and have to watch everyone having fun on tv and they can’t.  I remember the cool and thrilling walks in Manhattan at such spots like 42nd street times square, 34th street Harold square and even in the expensive but friendly 59th street where the sights are the high rises of beauty.

I want to enjoy the outdoors as I remembered them again, but with all this rain in New York City, I may not get to.  I can sure hope for a sunny day in the meanwhile.

Do you like the rain?  What do you do when it rains?
