Friday Wrap-Up...

I should have included the model of camera that is the designated 19th anniversary gift--it's the Canon 40D.  If you're in the market for a new camera, you have your Nikon people and you have your Canon people.  Some people say they can tell the difference between pictures from each camera--for me, it simply came down to a couple of things--I like the Canon lenses better and Canon is usually preferred by folks who do more portraiture and the Nikon seems to be preferred by people who do more outdoor/sports type photography--not that this is any kind of concrete designation.  I mainly do portraiture, so Canon it is for me.  I also have a Mamiya 645 AF medium format chemical film camera--but my need for immediate gratification via digital has finally won out over my medium format snobbery.  I also carry a Sony point and shoot that I love--I've had some really great shots with that little camera.

Now, I didn't use any of my cameras for the following shot--but it is a piece of photography that MUST be shared.......



...and now in a little closer.....

That's 6 of 8, Roller Coaster Lover and Diva of the Piercing Scream shrieking her way down the log ride--it was a piece of photographic overpriced gouging that I simply had to have!

We had a great day sweating and saying hi to Shamu and sweating and riding some crazy rides and sweating and feeding dolphins and sweating.

What's that?  You say you just have to see that picture one more time?  Are you sure?  Well, okay...
