borrowlenses.com

Hi folks,
No new photos to post, unfortunately... but I wanted to share this with you... what... maybe three people that check out my blog?

Camera Gear Rental


Instead of paying a gazillion dollars plus shipping and tax and whatnot for a new lens you're not sure you really need, or will use that much, you can 'borrow' the lens, or flash or whatever your heart desires from this company.

I'm fascinated by the idea of it, because the other sites that I've seen that do this, make you put a deposit down for the value of the lens, and will refund it back to you when you return it. That sort of defeats the purpose of 'borrowing' a lens in the first place, n'est pas?

Anyway, the prices are good, they offer insurance, and a variety of rental times, and you can reserve a lens in advance to make sure they have it in stock. They also sell their used equipment on occasion, so it's a good place to check for deals.

I've recently become an affiliate for them, so there's that banner on the side of the blog if you ever want to rent something, please click through that link so I'll get credit. As an unemployed girl, I can use all the help I can get. Aside from this post and seeing that link on the side, and mentioning the site once I get some awesome shots with my fisheye lens or something... this will be the last you'll hear of it from me. Most of you have already heard about this site from me anyway though, so it's old news!

ok... maybe ONE photo...

I still take photos. I'm just clearly too lazy to post them daily as I should be. So here's a hodgepodge of whatnots I've quickly pulled forth for your amusements.

Grace, my mother's cat.
Some summer flowers...



My handsome Aidan cat.
Nostalgia. Laying in my twin bed, looking out my old bedroom window, drinking coffee out of my old coffee mug, and my old CT plates over head...

Maine. Love it.
Long car ride...
Life necessities.
Waiting for the ferry...
in the fog.
Pea Porridge Pond.


The End.
