Happy Birthday to me...

I pooled my birthday money and got some new photography toys :)  I knew I wanted a new lens and so I scored a Nikkor 35mm 1.8g lens and figured on top of that it was high time I stopped putting my expensive camera in my not so expensive tote bags.  I have been eying this Jill-e bag for almost a year now and I happened to find it on sale thru amazon.  It has not only enough room for my camera and equipment but also my money, drivers license, and phone.  What more could this photag Mom ask for?

I haven't had much of an opportunity to play with my new lens but I did manage a few sample shots and I LOVE it.  Of course it isn't magic because it didn't make my bouncy toddler sit still but it is so clear.  It cuts out a bunch of post processing work because it just simply gets it right.  I can also now take clear pictures indoors since this allows me a nice wide open aperture.  I can't wait to play with it some more.

 
Wednesday she asked for ballerina hair so she got it.  Yesterday when I was doing her hair I asked what she wanted and she said monkey hair....this was the best I could come up with.  Today she wants Tinkerbell hair....I'll have to get back with you on that one.
