Either a dish brush, an egg brush or a toothbrush (although I'm not sure why you'd use one in the kitchen)

Or one of those potato scrubbers?

I haven't been shooting too long, about 9 months I guess. Have a Canon AE-1 which I hardly shoot, then a Canon A2 with the vertical grip which I love, but I'm so fed up with film processing costs that I don't want to shoot that too much. I shoot pics for school some, and I bum a XT off them (350D). I just hate the way it feels....the A2 is so solid and form fitting, its pretty much a film version of the 5D.

Anyways, got a POS 28-90 f4 that came with my mom's Rebel Ti. Can't stand it. Just got a 50mm 1.8 yesterday, shot about 20 shots through it today, but I kept hitting the shutter and it wouldn't take, I have never had that happen and I don't know whats going on. I was taking some pictures of some rodeo girls which were in good poses, but I feel weird if they see me, so I was trying to be discrete and fast, but the pic wouldn't take. Even if I dropped it in MF.

I'll put some stuff up once I resize them

i thought a flower but that wouldn't be used in a kitchen either.

i just started a AS level in Photography this year and it's going really well. You needed a film camera for it so i got a canon eos 3000v. Which i'm pretty pleased with. i have to have my first pictures taken and developed for tuesday next week. So far i've taken one photo. lol. I have to focus on extreme light and either arcitectual buildings, different textures or reflection. so i'm going for reflection =)
i can see this course is gonna be expensive

If you can do it, keep an eye open for a 70-200 F4L canon lens - I've got one, and for the price, they are fantastic - great quality without getting into silly money.
