I'm super excited about what Santa brought me (guess I was a good girl, after all). A Sony DSLR camera!! I've been wanting a DSLR for awhile now but never dreamed that Santa would deliver! About two weeks ago as I was editing some photos from my point and shoot, I got extremely frustrated with the image results and spontaneously decided to hop in the car and check out DSLRs at Hoyer's Photography. Bob was being (what I thought at the time - stubborn) and he decided to stay home. Little did I know that several weeks prior, he had already purchased a DSLR camera FROM HOYER'S for me for Christmas! As the story goes, Bob frantically called Terry at Hoyer's to let him know that I was on my way to "look" at cameras and whatever it took, PLEASE don't let me leave with a camera! Bob knew that anything was possible with me so he wanted to make sure that I didn't come home with a camera.
Terry "convinced" me that the cameras would be on sale right after Christmas and that it would be well worth my while to wait for the sale. Needless to say, he had me at "sale"...hook, line and sinker. Bob was thrilled to see me come home with only a pamphlet in my hands. I'm so glad I waited because it was worth the surprise (something that's pretty hard to do with me). I felt like a kid again!
I'm hoping to hone my photography skills so stay tuned! I think Q is getting really tired of "posing" in front of the Christmas tree - especially for the photo above. He carefully sat on top of a stack of "fake" Christmas gifts. Any little movement and the pile would've toppled over!
p.s. Guess it pays to be a good girl all year! :-)
