The jotter

 * I own a Nikon D50 Digital SLR, a Mamiya TLR, Rolleiflex TLR and a collection of assorted Super 8 and Super 16 mm video cameras.
 * Should you wish to contact me, I am available at [mailto:elprez@gh3y.net elprez@gh3y.net].
 * Check this guy out.
 * I have been a member since Jan 05, 2005

Currently

 * Saving up for a 50mm f1.8 lens for my Nikon D50.
 * Reading On The Road (Kerouac), having just finished Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter, both of which I heartily enjoyed.
 * Still reading The Gormenghast Trilogy ((Peake)) and still heartily enjoying it. Steerpike is a wonderful character.
 * I'm trying to convince everybody that getting a Motorcycle License is a good idea both for practicality and cost (ie. motorcycles are cheaper than cars), and that motorcycles aren't necessarily that unsafe. Feel free to help out ;).
 * In reference to the above, I'm looking at a few 125s (in Britain it's necessary to ride a 125 for two years before being able to ride anything else). Currently I'm interested in The Suzuki Intruder 125LC, because the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 is too flimsy and the Honda Shadow VT125C looks like ass as well as being prohibitively expensive. I'm open to suggestions.
 * After my two years are up (I sound like an inmate!) I'm keen on a Triumph Bonnie t100 or maybe a Triumph America.
