One of my favorite ways to relax on the weekend is to play my vintage record collection. I purchased my little Crosley record player last year, and have been curating records from flea markets and thrift stores to build a library of music I enjoy.
There's just something about the crackle of a needle on vinyl that can't be replaced. I grew up listening to records and 8-tracks, and I'm happy that the nostalgia movement has reignited an interest in the golden era of music. I love knowing that young people are playing the sounds of Doris Day and Dean Martin in their homes. Vintage music is entertaining - the lyrics can sometimes be blunt and even shocking!
It may take a little more time and be a little inconvenient to flip to the B-side. But the payoff is worth it!
Also, I got a new camera! My husband gifted me with a new Canon 70D. This is the first real photo set I've shot with it. One of the nicest features is the mobile remote app - allowing me to frame and focus my tripod shots with my iphone. This is so nice - I don't have to take 200 shots to get 10 good ones anymore! Also, it opens the door to more creativity. I want to tell a story with my pictures, instead of just taking random outfit photos, and this new camera is going to be a huge help with that. It also has a more sensitive sensor and wider ISO range, which will help with my learning process in night time photography - something I'm very excited about.
I'm lucky that my husband gets my creative drive. I'd much rather have camera gear than jewelry!
