I have a couple different shots of a Fuji road bike, and my new Fuji Absolute2, and the cheap-o Nishiki I bought from Dick's Sporting Goods when I decided to try riding again after beating colon cancer. I've been a professional musician for years and I don't have all that many shots from performances or studio work. I guess I have always been the guy behind the camera.
I had a similar experience. I spent a lot of my time taking landscapes and strangers. Almost no pictures of my friends or myself. And that really sux, because pix like that are like investments. They don't seem like much when they're taken, but they become priceless with time. I got a simple pocket camera and that all changed.
Looking forward some good stuff from your new G1X!
PS: Congrats at beating colon cancer too.
