When Sam took this self-portrait, the Canon EOS 350D was still mine.
As of 7.00 p.m. last night, she became the owner of the camera that had been an integral part of my blogging life for the past two and a half years.
Because Alex prefers a smaller camera, she got a Canon S3 IS.
Me? I am now the happy owner of a Canon 40D. 
The chicken a la king recipe in Pinoy Cook is the first entry I posted with a photo taken with the Canon 40D.
Sorry, I can’t provide links to show the specs for the cameras. PLDT MyDSL has been giving me headaches since this morning and foreign sites won’t load on the browser. That’s internet broadband PLDT style for you.

Angela, there’s a 3-day trip kasi first week of December. A school affair. The destination is one big opportunity for taking nature photos. So, advanced gifts na lang.

Connie Veneracion 11.29.07 at 11:53 am
Ben, ummmm… ummmm… LOL Seriously, I’m on a dedicated server. She can have as much webspace and bandwidth as she needs. And we have an agreement — edit and upload your own photos. I’m not gonna be their editing assistant, ano?
