Ray has wanted this for some time… a brand new SLR camera. We finally decided to get one, with the extra push of knowing we will take baby pictures soon. He did quite a bit of research and asking around, and then finally deciding on whether he will be with the Canon or Nikon party. Little beknownst to us, there is a huge divide in the camera world and the rivalry between Canon and Nikon. Ray finally went with Canon. We ended up buying the Canon Rebel Xsi Digital SLR. Instantly, as soon as the parts were put together, Ray started snapping away and became the little kid in the candy store. It’s very fun watching him have such a great time with the camera. He took pictures of everything! EVERYTHING! It’s so nice to know he is having so much fun.
We did a lot of walking around the city so that he can capture as many photos and shots as possible.

A very colorfully-dressed musician on the street on the Upper West Side… he played really well!

I tried to use the new camera, but apparently, unless you are using the automatic focus mode, you need to have some skills in order to take a decent picture. I, apparently, didn’t have those skills and Ray is trying to teach me. 🙂 Thank goodness he is pretty patient with me… the camera is too complicated for me and I just don’t really get it. In the picture above, I took it, and he told me it was no good. To me, it was good. I didn’t know what he was talking about and why he thought it was no good? That’s what I meant… I don’t know what’s a good picture and what’s not. He said he’ll teach me more along the way and explain to me how to take a good picture. 🙂 Oh boy… Good luck, huney, on teaching your tech-unsavvy wife!
Ashley is too modest. She catches on really quick, pretty soon she will be better than me. She already takes much better Poke Pictures than me. See how Pok’e enables her. 🙂 I am really happy with my new Camera. Best of all bought with POINTS!!! I’d like to thank Ashley for all her support in me buying such a expensive toy!
