I got a new camera!

I am too excited! I recently purchased my new camera, a Canon 5D, from Carol Melton, who is like my photography role model to me. She taught me everything I know about manually working my camera and so much about lighting, and just everything. She and her husband Paul recently retired, and she was looking for someone to buy her camera. I didn't have $1250 dollars, but Carol told me I could make payments on the camera. She gave it to me near the end of November, but as soon as I got it home, one of the interior mirror lenses fell out (Turns out it is a known camera defect), so I had to ship it to the Canon factory.

Now I have it back and I am waiting for the perfect opportunity to find someone or something to photograph. Since I name my cameras, I named my 5D, Cameran Canon. Catchy, huh? :)
