Photography

I think my passion has become photography. Perhaps no till recently, but I've been taking a lot of picures. Like thousands. Very few printed out though, mostly digital. I may seem like the same type of photographs and the same subjects, but I have a desire for so many more ideas.
I have a lot of pictures of my car, perhaps a third or more of my pictures are of my car. I think it owuld be great to have an album with nothing but hundreds of pictures of my car. Different shots in all sorts of locations. I see my car as an extension of me. And since I don't take very good pictures, or rather, people don't take good photos of me... I'll just take pictures of my car as a substitute.
I want a new camera though. My camera is decent, but I want a 16MP Digital SLR. Better resolution than real life. Too bad I'd have to sell my car to afford one. Even the older models are expensive. Still in the thousands. If I sold my car and bought the camera, I'd be left with nothing to take pictures of.
Printing pictures is going to be expensive too. At a quarter a shot for 4x6's, the bills could get huge real quick. And it's a shame I can't even pick and choose, since all the pictures I take are great pictures. Like awesome pictures. Even if it's ugly scenery or a silly face, or other non-asthetically pleasing items, I still make it a great, unique, classic picture. At least worthy enough to me for me to have a print.

"i think it owuld be great to have an album with nothing but hundreds of pictures of my car." *gasp* My photo journal idea, but of your car. It brings tears to my eyes. "This is the Saab at the car wash...this is the Saad at the movies...this is the Saab at the Waffle." LMAO Ben, you're great!
