A story in pictures

Frank and I acquired our joint-Christmas gift a little early. It’s a new camera. (What am I saying?) It’s a whole new level of photography. I’ve been snapping shots all day and getting the feel of this new DSLR, and right now this here material girl is loving her new Nikie like a third child.

The kids were asleep when the batteries were finally done charging last night, so we contented ourselves with cat pictures for testing.

All this morning, however, I could let the kids play together (having two of those can be useful once in a while) while I played with my own toy.

Xavier got a bit upset that I didn’t let his toddler hands handle my new expensive piece of gadgetry (and that I had my priorities wrong, having fun with my camera while he rolled around on an non-vacuumed floor).

Although he eventually decided to go with the theme.

I adore my, erm… our Christmas gift this year. It helps me to better show you how much beauty I see when I look at my kids.

For curious fellow DSLR owners, our new baby is a Nikon D60. Just the kit lens (18-55mm) so far, until we get better with it and get out of the automatic setting.

    Those really are some gorgeous little kids you have there. Not that they were less so before you got your third child this week, you understand, but now you are more able to capture their innate cuteness. And stuff.

    They sure look related, too. More facial similarities than most siblings, I think. Have fun with Nikie!

    Wow! chanceuse!!!
    Un jour peut etre!!! Jaimerais tellement ca…jaimerais aussi faire un petit cour en photo! Avec ma fille peut etre dans quelques années, elle qui rafole de photographie à seulement 2 ans ( Il ne faut pas lui dire, mais le Père Noel m’a glissé un mot, et elle va surement recevoir un appareil photro numérique pour Noel, si elle continue à etre aussi gentille que les derniers jours)

    Simon: Yeah, and those two ARE quite a duo. I’ll be a little sad when they start quarreling, because right now they are each other’s funniest person in the world.

    Ge: Ouais, un petit cours serait certainement indiqué. J’ai fait un peu de recherche avant de sélectionner un modèle, mais là je suis à la pointe de l’iceberg des possibilités. Hum, tu me fais penser qu’un petit cours du soir en photo serait un hobby super pour le printemps. Et yé! pour Romane. Un petit appareil photo numérique pour enfant, c’est ça? C’est une bonne idée. J’avais un peu le goût d’en ramasser un pour Xavier, mais j’ai décidé d’attendre encore un peu, finalement. (C’est donc facile trouver des idées de cadeaux pour les enfants! Ce sont les adultes qui sont plus embêtants…!!)

    vinny: Total accident.
