portraiture
i think i'm starting to get the hang of my d90. add a little bit of photoshop I to it, and i might even be able to make a decent men/women of taekwondo calendar one day.
but for now, i like to just stare at good photography. my current interest is portraits...of pretty people, of ugly people, of people in action. here is a cool gallery of celebrities from the 25th anniversary of the career of photographer mark seliger. mainly i'm posting it for my own reference so one day when i get around to making my own, i can come back and use this as a style guide.

if you can afford it, consider getting a prime lens. 50/1.8 or 85/1.8. you'll get that "pop" of a sharp face with blurred background @ f/2.0-2.8 which you can't get with a slower lens.
plus the 50/1.8 and 85/1.8 is an AWESOME lens for INCTL sparring action. :)
oh yeah, a nice flash with decent power/rotating head and a bounce diffuser will get you great wedding photos...
did i mention this is a never ending money suck if you let it happen...
