The opportunist photographer :D and the losing one :(

I've been envious of all the people traveling around the world but I can't let go of this craziness of mine.. I ended up breaking my lens because I was too desperate to shoot.. the tripod got old and ill maintained, and I never knew that one screw was loose and the result as you know is a cracked lens.
It hurt.. really hurt.. if I want to continue my photography as I did... I need a costly repair and a new tripod.. both are gonna cost me dearly.. till then.. ciao :(

P.S. These are the shots I took as and when I could :D
