I’m stoked.
\nFlat out… just plain excited.<\/p>\n
Nearly everyone I’ve talked to about my life and how I’ve got to where I am has said “John, I wouldn’t have the balls to do what you’re doing…” For those who don’t know, I’ve been working purely as a freelance photographer since the summer, moved to a completely different area, left a steady job w\/ great benefits, all to pursue something I love – photography.<\/p>\n
What does this have to do with the new BlackBerry Storm… I’m practical – most of the time. The majority of my money is directly invested into my career. My “toys” are tools, expensive tools, but tools regardless.
\nSo, when it came time to let my parents know what I wanted for Christmas I asked for things like a monopod, batteries, and running shoes. All things I need and use daily.<\/p>\n
My parents took one step further though in support of my decision to pursue photo by moving, freelancing, etc. They replaced my three year old, but damn realiable, Palm Treo 650…. with this. And helping me with health insurance in case I come down with something – although I don’t ever really get sick\/hurt.<\/p>\n
So, Mom and Dad, since I know you’ll read this eventually… Thank you!<\/p>\n
And since I know everyone else will want to know about the Storm and how it performs, I’ll post a review soon. Let’s be real, I’m a proud new owner of the most sought after phone right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
