I took our camera to have the sensor cleaned yesterday. I came home with a new lens that I have been thinking about for a while. (Thanks Cori!) I couldn't get it on the camera fast enough. And, as will be obvious from the pictures that follow, I have a lot of practicing to do. Naturally, I started following the kids around snapping as many pictures as possible. Grant is usually completely oblivious to my photographic efforts. He just has his own thing going on. So Gracie had to endure the session solo. It started off well enough, but quickly she determined that she was done taking pictures.
I then tried taking pictures of myself. But I have short arms and could only manage to get focused on my sun freckles and the wrinkles under my eyes.
I tried taking pictures of Grant again, but he won't look at me no matter what I do.
So I went back to taking pictures of Grace. She still was not interested in even pretending to be happy about it.
This morning she woke to the sounds of my shutter. The first words out of her cute sleepy face were, "Mommy?... I really don't want to take any more pictures." Poor girl. She is so completely stuck with me.

Every time I look at that second picture of Grace I laugh out loud. She has some real gravitas going on. And I definately don't see any wrinkles on you :)
LOVE IT!!!
Sis- I left the wrinkle picture on the cutting room floor so to speak. One of the perks of being the blog administrator around here. :)
She will be grateful for those pictures someday and the memories of her mommy taking them. Keep it up. :)
What lens is it? I've been wanting a 1.4 50mm for awhile, just wondering about more details?
Jen- it is the 1.4. I got the D series (Nikon). I LOVE it. It is so much faster than my other 50mm lens. My old one only stops down to 2.3 so you can imagine the difference. It will make you a more active photographer- no zoom so you have to move around. I'm still figuring it out. Well worth the splurge.
Thanks! That is very good to know. I'm assuming D is the equivalent to Canon's L series, which I'm contemplating whilst I pinch the pennies and save.
