New toys

Alison (my lovely wife) let me go out and buy some new toys for us. As you know I am big into photography and have wanted a digital slr for ever. A brand new canon rebel just came out and we are the proud new owner of a 10 megapixle digital slr (canon eos rebel xti) We have played with it a little bit and I am very impressed with its functions, speed, and quality of pictures. We are planning our vacation to Gatlinburg next month when the leaves change. I am hoping to take some great pictures with this. Here are some pictures of the camera.

The other toy is a brand new computer. Ours is about 5 years old and was not working very well for video editing (of the little guy growing up). It is a nice dual core amd processor Hewlett Packard computer. I was going to build my own, but the nice people at best buy gave me a great package deal (well I did have to talk to two different managers and tell them how much of a moron the first manager was, well not really, but I did want to say that) Now that we have more processing power in the computer we can do more with the photography and Photoshop, as well as get some video editing done of Isaac.
