Cameras are here! WOOOT WOOOOT!

So, the A2s got here today... I'm SO excited about them! I also found out that I won yet another eBay auction for a Mamiya RB67 pro-s medium format camera... it's a camera alot of studio photographers use. The bigger film lets you have bigger photos with better quality than a 35mm camera or even some of the more advanced Digital cameras. It will be a great asset for my landscape and wedding photography.

The Mamiya camera will be here soon... I got an email today saying that it was being shipped tomorrow from California. I'm taking it to Utah for conference I think. It will be fun to play with up there.

New Church Calling

Well the other night (during Travis' birthday dinner) I received a call from a member of the stake presidency asking me if I could meet with President Gaisford the next day at 9pm. I accepted but was SO nervous. I thought I was in trouble, or was going to be asked to speak in Stake Conference, or get a big calling.

Yeah, it was the last thought. Travis was joking with me saying that it would be Elders Quorum President. I was fighting that thought tooth and nail, I was in the presidency before, and didn't think they would call me to that. Well... I was wrong, VERY wrong. I blame Travis for my new calling!

I am excited, but very nervous too. I am greatful for the opportunity to serve in this capacity, and that I don't have to teach Gospel Doctrine anymore... haha. I just hope and pray that I will be able to do all of the responsibilities of this calling well.

Well, I'll keep you posted.

Getting on the horse again... metaphorically

So, lately I have had the uncontrollable itch to start doing Photography again... actively. I just bought 2 film cameras off of Ebay, and I'm stoked to get them! They are both Canon EOS A2 35mm film cameras. They are a professional camera (though not the top of the line). I still have my digital Canon camera, and will still be using that, but it is still limited to the size I can enlarge pictures to. Film is more versitile that way.

I have a website that is "kinda" up for my photography, it has a couple of my pictures but is definitely going to be revamped. If you feel inclined to look at it, it is www.nicholasjhilton.com

I'm super excited!
