I finally bought Aperture 3. Have yet to look up on the new possibilities, but it looked promising in the trial version. I might consider re-editing some previous uploaded pics, but for now I am mostly looking forward to working with it on newer shots. There are some great blooming plants in the living room and the weather will hopefully be more enjoyable soon as well. Visiting the World Press Photo Exhibition '10 added renewed interest and inspiration as well.
Furthermore, I have noticed my pageviews have gone past 1000 and am somewhat shocked. I don't care a whole lot about the pageviews, but still thanks to those that surf past!
