...the still unnamed newest addition to my life:





(hehe y'all thought it was going to be a baby didn't you!?!?!) ;-)

No, not that good...yet.

As some of you know my dear Peter Canon gave up the ghost about 2 months ago leaving me camera-less for a few days when my mom lent me her camera (my very first professional camera that I sold her when I got Peter) to use till I got a new one.

I was intending to get the same body again just new (like dying and going to heaven) ;-P But a new 30D body was going to cost me about $500 bucks which I really did not want to part with!

I was drooling over the new Canon Rebel T1i they have out which not only takes amazing pictures but shoots HD video as well! Buuuuuut, the Body for the T1i was selling for $700 whoppers...used. * insert deeeep sigh here *
On a random thought I searched Craigs list to see what they had. (this was a good idea!!) Lo and Behold there was a barely used (a few hundred pictures taken since it came out of the box) T1i with two lenses, battery, charger, a new 8GB memory card, Macro lens fittings, several filters, a lens hood, manuals, and software ... listed for $650. Of course I contacted the guy expecting that it would have sold already and just prayed in the mean time that if this was the one God would work it out. He has had a hand in every other camera I have gotten and has set the time and price so perfectly it could only be Him!

Long story short I met the guy today and purchased the camera minus one lens that I already had leftover from Peter for $600, and This is now mine!








So..... what do y'all think I should name him? It is a guy for sure and as someone else put it so well it needs to have a "sleek and modern, but still lovable" name. ♥

That is so cool! And it came with all that extra stuff! It' official. I am extremely jealous of you. (Sort of) And it's a Rebel.... :)

What is the name of the guy on Confessions of a Shopaholic? He was sleek and sophisitcated, as well as quite lovable... :D I can see from your eyes that you are in love. So happy for you! Do I get to have a photo shoot with it when you come?

Hmmm, what an amazing blessing, Hillary!

*thinks of a name* Ronald, perhaps? Or David?

Whatever you name him, still a good camera you've got there! :D

Dirk. I have a absolutely NO idea why I thought of that name, but I did. And it is a super good name for a super nice camera!!
It's such a good name, I'll faint on the spot should you no use it, but just in case, here are a few more suggestions: Britton, Tragger or Stealth. :)
Happy Naming! :)

Titus, Gerald the Prince (my personal favorite title for anything, really), Charles/Charlie, Malachi (then you can call him "Chi" for short!), William (can be shortened to Will or Willy), Luke

There be my splendid ideas. :)
