You don't have to live forever, you just have to live!
When my Ricoh RDC-7 gave up on me I really started missing my camera.
After being in India workrelated for 5 weeks (without having a camera!) at the end of 2004 I have bought a new camera (Canon 20D) in January 2005.
I have taken up photography more seriously since then, taking 2 courses on photography with the Photo academy in Amsterdam. Currently doing a higher vocational education in Photography (also at the photo academy).
My gear:
Canon 5D mark II
Canon 20D
Canon 24mm 1.4 L USM II
Canon 100-400 L IS USM
Tamron 90 mm 2.8 SP Di (macro)
Canon speedlite 550EX
Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite
Gitzo Carbon 6x tripod
Gitzo Basalt 2830
Really Right Ballhead
B+W Slim Circular polariser
B+W 106 ND 1,8-6 BL
B+W Infrared filter
Cokin holder and gradual ND filters

My message to everyone here: keep taking those gorgious pictures and posting them to Flickr so the rest of the world can see them!
