I took my daughter along to see the Hathsepsut exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It was a fun day. I believe this is the only time either kid has been allowed to touch my Nikon D50 camera. It's just a couple hours' drive or train ride away if you want to go yourself! Though that particular exhibit is gone now.

I'm envious. My trusty Coolpix 950 is still going strong, but I would love to have a digital SLR camera. I miss using my old Nikon FE, but can't justify the high cost of film. The D50 seems like it would be the perfect camera.

I just got a Sony A100. I really like it but I'm also really intimidated by it.... no clue what I'm doing. I haven't used an slr since high school. Should be fun learning again though.

I asked my friend Stephanie to shoot pics yesterday so I wouldn't have to. She's actually a pretty good photographer, as it turns out, except she's fascinated with extreme closeups, ala Wayne's World. This one of me was moderately passable. Don't forget that the camera adds about 150 pounds. Well, the camera, and the giant birthday cake I was slicing into shortly before this pic was shot.
