New Toy

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

Cameras West are part of the Ritz chain of photo stores – but don’t let that put you off – the store feels like a family run place and the staff are knowledgable and enthusiastic. The best thing about the place are that the prices are the same as in the UK – except that they’re quoted in dollars – I spent $1100 on my new camera, lens, tripod, spares, filters, etc – it would have easily cost me 1200 sterling at Jessops – I even got a free teddy bear.

I would definitely recommend them to anybody – just ask for Eric (the guy with the beard) , he’ll sort you out.

You’ll find them on fth Avenue – just over from Macys – look for the huge red “Cameras West” sign on the roof.

Sleepless in Seattle?

Sorry for not posting anything yesterday – I did arrive on-time and in one-piece, but there were no public Internet terminals in Douglas International or SeaTac – I struggled to find any toruist information either – which was suprising – in the UK you’re bombarded with internet gateways – hell, even the trains and some cabs are WiFi now-a-days.

My Jetlag busting rouse worked a treat – I’m starving and a little bit weary – but woke up around 6am – thinking it was around 6am. Will post more later – need some coffee and carbs.
