These are just quick edits. Notice they are kinda halo-y.
If I do win @ Vegas, which I highly doubt, I have a list of "stuff I want" to be activated whenever a goal is achieved. This is a hypothetical situation, but if I show up with a new item within weeks of return that means something happened. I am one of the most unluckiest persons in all humanity, lady luck is never on my side, so I rely everything on skill. As you know I am not one of those rich spoiled photographers that ask their parents for shit. I mean if you can impress some pros with a weak SLR, then that's mad respect. Some people can't afford everything. This is list is my step up to the big league. I can't even afford a proper flash-based site and photo hosting, I use photobucket for those that didn't know. I have 60+ different accounts. That's right...just for hosting. I'm a cheap guy and I rarely treat myself. Some people are just born lucky. One day eventually I will get all these, but if I hit one this is how it plays out:
