Yes, I am guilty of doing this to Julie! Mwah ha ha ha!
Here is a picture of Julie, Lillian and I, taken yesterday with the new camera we bought for Julie. I also bought myself a new camera. It doesn't look like an upgrade and it cost less than half of what I sold my other camera for, but trust me, it's amazing. From a resolution stand point it's about 6 times the resolution of my other camera. I got the new Canon HV20. I won't go into too many technical details, one mans tressure trove of knowledge is another mans garbage mail. I'll have to post a link as soon as I have some of my new stuff online. I'm expecting my new lens adapter to come in the mail any day now. That will help me to achieve the shallow depth of field I had like when I was shooting my "Hope" project.
The camera I got Julie was a new Canon Rebel XTi. I figured since she has a degree in photography she should have a professional camera to work with.
