All I need is an excuse... I mean reason...

I really need very little encouragement when it comes to buying new gadgets and devices. Jess, on the other hand, is a lot more logical in her approach. She asks questions like, do we really need that? and will we use it? I ask questions like, what store should I buy it from? and what is the quickest route to that store? With that in mind, I was very excited when Jess finally caved in to the pressure I have been putting on her to buy a DSLR camera. She was never opposed to the idea of having a nice camera to take awesome pictures, but that logic thing got in the way and she thought that the money was better spent (or saved) on something else. With enough money saved, she gave me the green light.
I am obviously stoked to have a new toy to play with, but I am most excited about the prospect of taking some awesome pictures as our little ones grow. I won't kid myself into thinking I am Ansel Adams or anything, but I have already noticed how much more forgiving this camera is. As a matter of fact, I think Canon should hire me as a spokesperson. I see the ad campaign now: "Real Pictures, Real People, Canon". Or Nikon, or Sony. I can be bought. Really. My wife will negotiate the details, she's the logical one...
