New toy

For the past year or so (hmm, ironically about the time Megan came along), I've had my eye on one of those super cool 'big kid' cameras, the ones you see real photographers using, the ones that make super great photos. And for a little while, I had to live in envy as my friends, Sarah, Courtney, and Jeff all had their own versions of the camera and were taking super awesome, sleek photos of their worlds.

I think I've wanted it because I've always wanted to play with photography. And since I don't have to play with creepy chemicals and can basically take a hundred photos and have ONE come out looking decent, I feel like I can handle a camera of this magnitude. So, finally, one of Jillian's co-workers was selling his to upgrade to a better one and she surprised me with an awesome gift.

Hopefully I can do the camera justice. I still have to learn fancy-pants words like aperture, ISO, white balance, etc. but hopefully I'll be taking macro photos of Megan very soon. For now, in my introductory phase, here are just a few that I took. And because I feel he's a little neglected ... there's one of Espen too ... her new found table scraps buddy.
