Yo bought me a cool new toy for my 30th! :)
Canon Rebel XTi.
Canon Rebel XTi.
For those of you who don't know what that is (me included!)It's a couple steps up from a "point n' shoot" camera; it's a digital camera an amateur can play with and take good quality photos. But boy does it make you "feel professional", esp. if you have the camera strap on! :)
I have so much to learn, but it sure is fun having a camera with so many options. I can't believe how clear the pics come out. And how quickly the shudder opens and closes! Rapid speed! :)
I'm embarassed to post our first pics with the camera, b/c I wish
they were perfect! But Yo reminded me... we're beginners!
My Birthday Adventure....
1st stop, San Diego Zoo.
(i have a zoo pass now, does anyone wanna go?)
Little fussy Monkey!
Peeking Chimp :) 
Next stop: Royal India (da' bomb Indian food downtown!)
Check out that Lamb Curry-- seconds please, yum!
Here's the Indian couch we sat on; good shot hon!Last stop: A quick model shoot on the way back to our car.
I needed a "subject"-- found one! Isn't he cute?
I'm spoiled. xoxox.

wow, your good enought to be amber or missi's second shooter!
good one hon! i love that your blinded by love! :)
We broke down and bought a Rebel after we had Julia. Our old digital wasn't cutting it. By the time you snap a pic Julia was falling over, so with the rebel we can snap way too many pictures. We love it! And Jen has been getting lessons from Amber so she is on her way to being professional.

I love having the rebel. i have soooo much to learn though. But... with time. The zoo sounds fun. We'll go there with the playdate. ;o)
Yay for great birthdays and wonderful birthday gifts! :) I'm sure you'll be a pro with that camera in no time! :) Can't wait to take a zoo trip with our boys! :)
Congratulations!! Great pics! I have the 30D and wow... what a difference an SLR can make. I know what you mean about having the camera strap on. Out here people think I am from the media or something. They won't let me in places with my camera. It's funny because I really don't even know what I'm doing! :) I cant' wait to get back to the states so I can take some classses. Have fun and be patient with yourself. I always have to remind myself to do that!!
