First Day

First day. So far, so good. It's a Tuesday, and I'm sitting here in the early afternoon drinking coffee. Brilliant.

I have realized that I am going to need to manage my time in a reasonable fashion. I've to make sure that I've goals for the day, week, month etc. Otherwise, madness will ensue.

A few things for the week:

• Find a storage facility for my shit
• Find find some movers to move my shit.
  

As for today, I'm going to buy a camera. I really wanted to get one of those really small ones for putting in my pocket and giving me the ability to discretely take pictures in bars and whatnot (so I can take pictures of all the tangonistas...what?). I would like to become a better photographer, so I'd like to get the camera sooner than later. It'll give me more time to play around with it here, maybe practice a bit with the local tangonistas, add some shots of Minneapolis.

Mostly, I've taken pictures while I travel and I always thought that to do really interesting photography one had to have a really fancy camera (SLR, ton of lenses, etc). I recently watched Born Into Brothels, which is a very good documentary about these children from brothels (how's that for broken homes) who are being taught photography by this American woman. They were given very simple 35mm point-and-shot cameras and take some really fantastic pictures.

I feel inspired to take more pictures. Thanks, red light kids.
