New Toy, New Learning

Being out of school for sometime I am still wanting to learn SOMETHING. Gone are the days of Business Marketing and Macro Economics (thank g-d) and now is the time to help my horrible addiction to technology.

I am known for my obsession with the latest gadgets and my wife (brother, dad, mom, friends...anyone who comes into contact with me) will attest to my daily research on what's next in the world of technology.

Yesterday I made a change - I bought something not just to enjoy but to learn and continue progressing. I bought a beautiful new DSLR - a few photographer friends gawked at my giant leap for my first DSLR but I am not the type of person to just "dip my toe in" - I have to jump in! Of course Jackie laughed at my insistence to buy the camera. We agreed that I would buy in March and she silently kept her laughter as she knew I would not be able to wait that long. g-d help our future children who want the latest greatest toy - it would be the most epic good cop bad cop. Dave: Sure! let's get it now!, Jackie: You don't need it! READ A BOOK! - but let that fun argument be left to future Dave and Jackie to figure out.

Unpacking the camera last night I was like a kid a Christmas - and being Jewish myself this was a big deal! Jackie researched washers and dryers that I said she could buy - and as her typical self decided at the end of the night I'll wait - we don't need them now - little did she know I was planning all the future accessories I would buy (tripod, lenses, bags, filters).

Our poor cat became the subject of an impromtu photo shoot...

I hope to fill this blog our pictures and the amazing events that comprise our life.

Thank you to Jackie for letting me buy this camera - and writing this blog with me.
