My camera(s), my plan

I have a few cameras that I have collected over the years and I like to use them all depending on my mood or current project;

Nikon N4004 with AF Nikkor 50 mm, 1.4 & Tamaron 400 mm LD 200-400mm 1:5.6

Canon EOS Rebel G with Canon EF 35-80 mm 1:4.5-5.6 III & 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 II

Polaroid One600 Ultra

Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph (I keep this in my purse)

My Cell phone (which I only use if I have nothing else available)

and my baby...

Canon 30D with a Canon Zoom EF-S 17-55mm 1: 2.8 IS USM & Canon Speedlite 580EX II

I also have the kit lens that came with the 30D but its junk (still works though) and a Sigma 200 mm zoom lens for Canon that still works but is pretty worn out if anyone is interested in purchasing.

I list all these for a few reasons. I need a record of what I have, I forget what I have sometimes (mainly my lens mm's), and maybe it will keep me from buying more equipment. Na, photography equipment is like shoes and chocolate, you just can't have too much.

I wanted to take another photography class. Either another Black and White film (which was a blast and I learned so much) or another digital class or a badly needed Photoshop class but my schedule is just too full so I have decided I want to shoot at least one photo every day. I would also like to post one photo a day but unfortunately the schedule thing, again. In addition I'm dealing with computer issues. Specifically an over stuffed hard drive. It is so full at the moment that I can't even defrag. I'm posting this and my photo of the day - from yesterday - via my husbands laptop. I don't have my software on here (CS3) so I'll have to make do. Thankfully my camera is set to shoot in RAW and JPEG.

My current wish list;
My own laptop!
Calibration software (and a new printer)
Canon battery grip
Nifty Fifty

I WILL shoot every day. I'll include the shot date in my post but may post several at once.
