Mama's Got a New Toy

Our camera is a basic digital point-and-shoot that serves us well for our everyday needs. But sometimes, a girl needs more...you know?


My old SLR camera has been collecting dust since the purchase of the digital camera because...(whisper)...it's not digital. But SLR cameras are just plain fun to use. Every once in a while I take it out of its case and play with its lense and pretend to take pictures. I miss the ability to take close-ups and low-light photos and I miss the focusing and the clicking sound it makes when I push the button.


It was all of this sentimentality that drove me to purchase a new toy last weekend...a digital SLR. Guided by my sister's expertise and my own limited knowledge, I bought a new camera and I am so excited!


Now I can take pictures like this:
