    B) A change in perspective will lead to better opportunities. Making a mark on a job, which does not suffice the inner needs are deemed failure in long run. An experience in life can bring about new challenges and develop change in course of path in career.

    From my past experience..

    Me and my friend had an opportunity to go to Middle East for a year with UNICEF and UN Peace Envoy. I decided to stay, he went. After a year, he came back and changed his path in to NGOs, now he works at UN. As for my self, I still work at design which does not fulfill my needs. He is much happier. He no longer sees life as progression of monetary means. But, as money follows him as cares less about them.

    ok so I had a Canon Rebel XTI and some lenses. So I knew I was going to be shooting alot of photos. This was the 1st real group trip for this organization so documentation was everything. Our first project, basically making or breaking the future. If we get it done, it needs to be shown to the doners.

    This is all we were prepared for--photography.

    I had mentioned to the the founder/ leader that some video would be great so try to budget for a camera.

    Last minute we got a huge donation that met all of our needs for the trip.

    He called me up to go get a camera and learn how to use it, this was about 5 days before we left. So with very short time and very little research this is what I came up with for about $1500 which was our max budget for the cam.

    Canon Vixia HF20 hd camcorder. 32gb Flash memory

    Encinema35 depth-of-field adapter
    (means I can use all the 35 mil lenses I have for my SLR with the camera for manual focusing/ making it look great)

    4 hour battery expansion

    Everything turned out awesome. Only thing is when I ventured into Yei to dump the camera I would just drag all the raw .mts files to a hard drive. We just had a PC laptop over there, so there was nothing to edit with.

    Now that i'm back I have about 40 hours of footage to go through, most of it i'm seeing for the first time. Had some trouble with the .mts files, had to buy VolaicHD to convert them all, a suuuuper long process.

    This is me the day before I left.

    the aspect ratio is off and I didn't upload it in HD, but hey I was flying to Sudan the next day.

    I had just got the Encinema35 DOF adapter and was learning how to use it. Oh and they suggest being very careful about dust on the adapter and the focusing glass. Well damn it, Sudan= the dustiest place in the world.

    So the focusing glass is ruined, unless I want to make a horror film that is shot on a fermented super 8 cam.

    Gotta get new focusing glass, probably about $50
