Well we don’t have anything interesting to post right now since… you know… Freckle is being really boring. So I thought I’d post a photo I took this weekend. I’ve been taking a LOT of photos (and a photography class) and so far this is the first one that I’ve felt warrants other people looking at it. So here you go: Early Cherry Blossoms.

As some of you may know, I used to have a nice film SLR camera. I enjoyed taking photographs and, though I wasn’t great at it, I had enough control to get some great results occasionally. Well it’s been a while and I have been looking for a good excuse to spend too much money on a new DSLR. And what is a baby, really, other than an excuse to spend too much money? (Don’t answer that.)
When I say I’ve been looking for an excuse, I mean it. I spent months doing research before our wedding, looking for the perfect camera. I wanted to have something nice to take on our honeymoon. Unfortunately, circumstances conspired to keep me from purchasing one at the time. I did, however, have a great camera picked out back then. It didn’t take me too long, a year and a half later, to realize that it is still a great camera — but now it’s several hundred dollars cheaper! Score!
So armed with my research and armored by my little gestating excuse (aka Freckle), I approached Jenny prepared to duel for the fate of my photographic future. Can anyone stand against one so armed and armored? Don’t blame Jenny for her failure to protect our precious funds, nobody could have withstood that assault. Also, pregnant women fight like…well, like pregnant women.
To the victor go the spoils. I present to you, my new Nikon D5000:

Now I have six months to learn how to use it to take impressive photos of tiny humans. Wish me luck!
