Rebel With(out) A Cause

Well, I've gone and done it. For years I've been taking pictures with a broken digital camera someone gave me or the 1.2 megapixel camera on my cell phone; now Jess and I have a camera that's going to make photography even more fun than it was before.

At the recommendation of Elise and Jesse, we decided to go with a Canon Rebel. We found a fantastic deal on a Canon EOS Rebel XT bundled with three lenses (a 28-80mm, a 70-300mm tele/macro and a wide-angle conversion that can be used for both), two tripods, a 4Gb flash card and a carrying case. Needless to say, I've been snap-happy the past day and a half. Couple that with the fact that I just downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta. Oh man, if I weren't feeling so lousy (sick), I'd be in all my glory!

The long and short of this post is, look for lots of photos in coming days. I'm sure I'll be touching up my photo section so that it works better. Well, here's the first batch (me just getting the feel for SLR):

RYC: I do have the whole of Hebrews recorded however it is not the best quality. I would be glad to send you a copy of what Ihave. If you are nearby, I would love to come to your college/career class and recite it live.

Oh, we have a digital Rebel and love it. I am envious of all the add-ons you've got, though. Enjoy!
