I dreamt about my first SLR before I bought it. I had been researching for months but still wasn't sure if I was "up for it." I would go to stores and try the different lenses. By the time I was ready to buy, I definitely knew what I wanted! My greatest regret wasn't buying a better model. Lesson learned! That was back in 2009. Since then, my focus on vacations has shifted and so had my style. I delete a lot more now, and I try to be a lot more discerning.
