The Beginning of a Beautiful Relationship

I've been playing with my new toy and giggling like a giddy school girl the whole way. I am now the fortunate owner of a very sexy Canon EOS Rebel XSi. And I can tell this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I've been wanting a camera like this for....well, years, but I could never justify the expense. Until recently. I finally decided the cost was well worth it, and it was time to take a step up and purchase a really good camera, and I braced myself for the expenditure but was ready to bite the bullet. Then, I had some unexpected assistance in the form of parental generosity for their underpaid son, and now I'm trying to think of other things I should've justified the expense of long ago. *wink* No, seriously, many, many thanks. The assistance enabled me to get the camera I really wanted.

I don't have good sample images to post yet, just test shots of Javier's place or my aquarium or bookshelf, but I'm sure I'll have some before long. Like any good relationship, there is some warming up and learning and meshing to be done privately before taking it more public. We need to learn to work together. Give and take. I want the camera to do one thing, but I need to learn what I need to do for the camera to be able to do that. I've gotta learn how to push just the right buttons at just the right times. Oh my, the places I could go with this analogy.

Hm, I think I've just found my newest substitute for a real relationship. Now we just need "our song". I'm Looking Through You, perhaps? Maybe it's too early to be picking our song. I shouldn't be talking so openly about our new relationship until things blossom more, but I can't help but share my excitement! I think this one's a winner for the long haul, I really do. Wish me luck, I'm crossing my fingers with this one...
