Does it get any better????

Postby Raskill on Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:26 pm

Well, my lens lust may have to wait, because I can happily share with you all that I'm going to be a dad for the first time. :D :D :D :D

I have until May 2006 to convince my wife I need a Dx2 for baby photos.

I must say, I'm over the moon, and have to tell everyone!!!

WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

"I have until May 2006 to convince my wife I need a Dx2 for baby photos."

Yeah sure, and I have 20 mins to convince my dog to do my tax return :lol:

"Do you know what caused it?"

Obviously not enough photography.

Seriously, Raskill it's a great time, well maybe the getting up early to feed or rock to sleep ain't so great, but the rest is wonderful. Congratulations! Though I heard your part in the whole affair was only a small one. :lol: :wink:

cheers
marco

congrats Raskill, get the D2X ''BEFORE'' the baby is born, as you will be spending money on everything else but camera gear for the next 20 odd years, take from someone who knows !!!
